Jennie Garth is opening up about the Beverly Hills, 90210 cast’s close-knit support for each other!

While speaking to PEOPLE Magazine, the Bad Influence actress revealed that the cast’s collective effort to cope with the loss of Doherty’s death has brought them even closer to each other during these challenging times.

On a recent episode of Garth’s I Choose Me podcast, the A Kindhearted Christmas’ actress revealed the cast’s text reaction’s when they heard about the Fortress’ actress’ death.

She also spoke up about the cast’s support for each other during that time.

"No matter what, there's that connection there, and it will be there for the rest of each of our lives and beyond. I think just really honoring that connection, and we have been supportive,” said Garth.

She further added, “We do reach out to each other here and there and offer each other support and just tell each other we love each other."

Because the cast has known each other since they were all so young, Garth said, “It's a connection that's really hard to explain."

People don't, I think, fully understand it when you experience life-changing events like that for so long together during your formative years; you have a connection that can never ever be broken by an argument, or a death, or an opinion," explained the 25 Words or Less alum to PEOPLE.

Doherty, who passed away after her years-long battle with cancer, was a “devoted daughter, sister, aunt, and friend” and was surrounded by her “loved ones as well as her dog, Bowie” at the time of death, told publicist Leslie Sloane, who was her longtime friend.
