The first anniversary of Doherty’s death came just a week after it was announced another former Charmed star Julian McMahon had lost a private battle with cancer. He was 56.
Combs was among the stars who paid tribute to McMahon, taking to Instagram to share photos, including one of Doherty and McMahon together.
“One of a kind is an understatement. Your unyielding zest for life and crazy making sense of humor will be sorely missed,” she said of McMahon.
“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.”
