Luke Perry hospitalised after suffering reported stroke at home in Los Angeles - ABC News

Former Beverly Hills, 90210 star Luke Perry is being treated in hospital after reportedly suffering a stroke at his Los Angeles home.

Key points:

• Luke Perry is under observation in hospital
• Fox announced it was reviving Beverly Hills, 90210 with the original cast but Perry was not included
• Perry's former co-stars have expressed their support on social media

Celebrity website TMZ said Perry was rushed to hospital on Wednesday morning after suffering what it described as a "massive stroke."

"Mr Perry is currently under observation at the hospital," the 52-year-old's representative said in a statement, without giving any details.

Audio of a 911 call posted by TMZ includes a paramedic attending Perry's house saying the patient had suffered a stroke.

Perry currently plays Fred Andrews on the teen television series Riverdale, but is better known for his role as Dylan McKay on Beverly Hills, 90210, which was set around a group of students living in the upscale southern California city.

Perry was struck down the same day that Fox television announced it was reviving the series with many of the original cast, including Jason Priestley, Jennie Garth and Tori Spelling.

Perry was not among those announced as returning for the limited run of six new episodes this summer.

Beverly Hills, 90210 ran for 10 years starting in 1990 and was one of the most popular shows on US television.

Perry's former co-stars expressed their support on social media.

"My friend. Holding you tight and giving you my strength. You got this," Shannen Doherty posted on Instagram, while Ian Ziering wrote, "Let us all say a prayer for his speedy recovery".
