Charmed actor Julian McMahon has passed at the age of 56 from a private battle with cancer, his family confirms. The actor was best known for his role as Cole Turner in the WB series along with his role as Christian Troy in Nip/Tuck. His wife, Kelly McMahon, confirms the actor passed peacefully earlier this week in Clearwater, Florida. Now, Charmed cast members are sharing their thoughts and condolences in honor of the late actor’s passing.

She took to Instagram late Friday night to express her heartbreak over McMahon’s passing. She says, “Julian McMahon was magic.” And, “Julian was more than my TV husband. He was a dear friend. The kind who checks in. The kind who remembers. The kind who shares. The kind who tells you the truth, even when it’s uncomfortable—but always with love.”
Holly Marie Combs, who played Piper Halliwell in the series, shared a tribute on Instagram, saying McMahon’s “zest for life and crazy making sense of humor will be sorely missed.”
Rose McGowan, who played Paige Matthews, took to Instagram stories to honor the late actor. She called McMahon a “force of brilliance.”
Other cast members showing support include Brian Krause, who played Leo Wyatt, often a foil to McMahon’s Cole Turner. Krause sharing his love for his Charmed co-star saying “Julian was one of the funniest, devilishly handsome and kind souls!”
