Suzanne Somers’ long-time publicist, R. Couri Hay, confirmed that she passed away peacefully at home on the early morning of October 15th, just one day before her 77th birthday. He shared, “She survived an aggressive form of breast cancer for over 23 years. Suzanne was surrounded by her loving husband Alan, her son Bruce, and her immediate family.” According to a friend of the actress, Somers passed away in her new “all green home” in Palm Springs, in her sleep with her loving husband by her side.
The actress’ family had originally planned to gather on Monday to celebrate her birthday, but instead, they will now be honoring her extraordinary life and expressing their gratitude to her millions of fans and followers. A private family burial is scheduled to take place this week, with a memorial planned for the following month.

In an interview with “Entertainment Tonight” in July, she bravely stated, “I have been living with cancer since my 20s. And every time that little f—ker pops up, I continue to bat it back.” Her resilience and determination serve as an inspiration to all those fighting their own battles.
The entertainment industry has lost a remarkable talent, and Suzanne Somers’ legacy will forever be remembered. Her infectious smile, kindness, and unwavering spirit touched the lives of many. Hollywood collectively mourns, remembering the incredible woman who brightened their lives with her presence. Rest in peace, Suzanne Somers.
