Tiffani, who is now 45, shared, “My heart has been weighing heavy. The loss of a man who started as my co-star but quickly became my friend.” She went on to describe the day she joined the Beverly Hills, 90210 cast, a day that wasn’t easy for her. “I was stepping into a show—a family, really—that had been together for over four years. But Luke welcomed me with open arms from the very first moment. He took me under his wing and made me feel like I belonged in his TV family,” she wrote.

That sense of belonging was crucial for Tiffani. “He made me feel at home. I was coming into an established show, and it could have been intimidating. But Luke made sure it wasn’t. He was the kind of person who just had that warmth about him,” she continued.
