"The devoted daughter, sister, aunt and friend was surrounded by her loved ones as well as her dog, Bowie. The family asks for their privacy at this time so they can grieve in peace," she continued.
In the star's final public statements before her passing, the brunette beauty seemed optimistic about her ongoing treatment for her illness.
"I have no idea how long I’m going to be on the chemo for,” Doherty spilled during an episode of her “Let’s Be Clear” podcast. “I have no idea if it’s going to be, you know, three months or if it’s going to be six months. Or, if we’re, you know … if after three months it’s not working, if we’re going to change again.”

"And it’s scary. It’s like a big wake-up call,” she admitted. “At the same time, I got to say, there is some positivity there. And the positivity is that because my molecular structure of my cancer cells changed recently, it means there’s a lot more protocols for me to try.”
Doherty had been extremely candid about the ups and downs she experienced during health battle. "I think that cancer has been one of the absolute best and one of the worst things to ever happen to me in my entire life. It changed me as a human being," she explained in a recent interview. "It made me grow up in a totally different way. It made me look at life and relationships very differently. My values shifted. My priorities shifted. I feel much more clearer [sic] and much more focused."
