Shannen Doherty looked to be in good spirits as she headed to a restaurant in California amid her ongoing cancer battle.

The Charmed actress was spotted at a restaurant in Malibu on Thursday as she was joined by her mother Rosa, having revealed earlier this month that her stage four breast cancer has spread to her brain.

Shannen wore a stylish outfit for the mother-daughter day, opting for a dark blue jumper and light blue jeans.

She completed her look with a pair of white trainers, a small black handback and black Aviator sunglasses. Shannen also held on to a smart black blazer.

The 52-year-old went for a natural makeup look and styled her short dark hair in a middle parting.

Shannen revealed her new diagnosis earlier this month in a video shared on Instagram.

In the clip, the Beverly Hills 90210 star was seen undergoing radiation therapy earlier this year.

Alongside the video, she wrote: "On January 5th, my ct scan showed Mets in my brain. Yesterday's video was showing the process of getting fitted for the mask which you wear during radiation to your brain.

"January 12, the first round of radiation took place. My fear is obvious. I am extremely claustrophobic and there was a lot going on in my life.

"I am fortunate as I have great doctors like Dr Amin Mirahdi and the amazing techs at cedar sinai. But that fear…. The turmoil….. the timing of it all…. This is what cancer can look like."

In a follow-up clip, Shannen said she had a tumour in her head which doctors wanted to remove and biopsy.

Opening up about her feelings, she said: "I am clearly trying to be brave but I am petrified.

"The fear was overwhelming to me. Scared of all possible bad outcomes, worried about leaving my mom and how that would impact her. Worried that I would come out of surgery not me anymore. This is what cancer can look like."

Shannen first announced that she had breast cancer in 2015 and was later said to have gone into remission. However, it was revealed that it had returned in 2019.
