    Holly Marie Combs hopes Charmed stars Julian McMahon and Shannen Doherty are reunited in death

    The 51-year-old actress took to Instagram to pay tribute to Julian, 56, after his shocking death following a secret cancer battle and she remembered their Charmed co-star and his former girlfriend Shannen in her message


    She posted a collage of some Charmed highlights and wrote: "One of a kind is an understatement. Your unyielding zest for life and crazy making sense of humor will be sorely missed. The joy and laughter you were the direct cause of will always be remembered. I hope you find our lady friend and dance in those rose petals."

    She added on her Instagram Stories: "My favorite pain in the a** ever. RIP (sic)."

    Doherty died after a lengthy cancer battle in July 2024.

    Co-star Alyssa Milano also spoke out about her heartbreak following Julian's passing.

    She wrote on Instagram: "I'm heartbroken.

    "Julian McMahon was magic. That smile. That laugh. That talent. That presence. He walked into a room and lit it up - not just with charisma, but with kindness. With mischief. With soulful understanding.

    "We spent years together on Charmed - years of scenes, stories, and so many in-between moments. He made me feel safe as an actor. Seen as a woman. He challenged me, teased me, supported me. We were so different, and yet somehow we always understood each other."

    Alyssa hailed the late actor as a "dear friend", and she also offered her condolences to his family.

    Her post continued: "Julian was more than my TV husband. He was a dear friend. The kind who checks in. The kind who remembers. The kind who shares. The kind who tells you the truth, even when it's uncomfortable - but always with love.

    "My heart is with Kelly, with Madison, and with Iliana - his girls, his world. He adored them. You could feel it in every conversation, every story, every text. He was a family man above all, and he loved deeply.

    "Losing him feels unreal. Too soon. Too unfair.

    "Rest, my friend. I'll carry your laugh with me.

    "Forever Cole. Forever Julian."
