Julian McMahon's Charmed co-star Alyssa Milano calls out fake tributes to late Aussie star: ‘Stop'

Julian McMahon's former Charmed co-star Alyssa Milano has pleaded with fans to stop using AI to mourn the loss of the beloved actor. The actress took to Instagram to beg followers to be more respectful in the wake of the Aussie star's death last week after a private battle with cancer. In an emotional post, Milano, 51, asked fans to refrain from using fabricated or AI-generated images and videos to pay tribute to the late star. 'Charmed fans/accounts! | love and appreciate you so much but please stop using Al to fabricate emotion from Julian McMahon's death,' she wrote in a post. 'It is totally unessessary (sic) when there are real moments you can use from his nearly 35 years in the public eye. And please be considerate to Julian's grieving family and friends during this difficult time.' Milano played witch Phoebe Halliwell on Charmed with McMahon playing her love interest, Cole Turner, from 2000 to 2005. Their relationship became a central storyline on the Aaron Spelling-produced series, with their characters going on to get married before Cole turned into a half-demon named Belthazor. When paying tribute to McMahon after his death, Milano said she was 'heartbroken' but will always cherish their time together on set. 'Julian McMahon was magic. That smile. That laugh. That talent. That presence. He walked into a room and lit it up – not just with charisma, but with kindness. With mischief. With soulful understanding,' she began in her post. 'We spent years together on Charmed – years of scenes, stories, and so many in-between moments. He made me feel safe as an actor. Seen as a woman. He challenged me, teased me, supported me. We were so different, and yet somehow we always understood each other. Julian was more than my TV husband. He was a dear friend. 'Losing him feels unreal. Too soon. Too unfair. Rest, my friend. I'll carry your laugh with me. Forever Cole. Forever Julian.' It was McMahon's real-life wife of 11 years, author Kelly McMahon, who shared the sad news of his passing last Thursday, aged 56. 'With an open heart, I wish to share with the world that my beloved husband, Julian McMahon, died peacefully this week after a valiant effort to overcome cancer,' she wrote in a statement to Deadline. 'Julian loved life. He loved his family. He loved his friends. He loved his work, and he loved his fans. His deepest wish was to bring joy into as many lives as possible. We ask for support during this time to allow our family to grieve in privacy. And we wish for all of those to whom Julian brought joy, to continue to find joy in life. We are grateful for the memories.' The actor is also survived by his only child, Madison, who he shared with ex-wife Brooke Burns. Upon his death, Burns, who starred on Baywatch, reacted to the news by sharing a happy snap of 25-year-old Madison with her father.

‘Charmed' Actress Shares Heart-Wrenching Goodbye to Julian McMahon

'Charmed' Actress Shares Heart-Wrenching Goodbye to Julian McMahon originally appeared on Parade. Former Charmed star Holly Marie Combs took to Instagram to share a sweet tribute for her co-star Julian McMahon after learning of his death. On July 4, hours after reports of McMahon's death emerged, Combs shared a collage of highlights from her time with her fellow Charmed actor over the years. She used the song "Dancing in the Sky" as the background of the montage. In the caption, Combs wrote, "One of a kind is an understatement." Combs continued, "Your unyielding zest for life and crazy making sense of humor will be sorely missed." She added, "The joy and laughter you were the direct cause of will always be remembered. I hope you find our lady friend and dance in those rose petals." The reference to their "lady friend" was surely a nod to fellow former Charmed star Shannen Doherty. During the series, which ran from 1998 to 2006, McMahon played the character of Cole Turner. Combs played Piper Halliwell, and Doherty was her sister, Prue Halliwell. Alyssa Milano played the third sister in the original series, Phoebe Halliwell. For some time, Doherty and McMahon's characters dated on the show, and the pair took their romance off-screen as well. Doherty died after a lengthy cancer battle in July 2024. According to a statement provided to Deadline from McMahon's wife, Kelly McMahon, he "died peacefully this week after a valiant effort to overcome cancer." He was 56. "Julian loved life. He loved his family. He loved his friends. He loved his work, and he loved his fans. His deepest wish was to bring joy into as many lives as possible," the statement provided to Deadline continued. Fans shared their heartbreak on Combs' Instagram post. "I just can't believe it. I'm in shock," wrote one. "RIP Shannen and Julian," added another. Someone else shared, "My childhood heart can't keep taking this. Rest in peace, Cole. 'Charmed' would never have been the same without you. Thank you for bringing so much magic, darkness, and love to that world we all escaped to. Your legacy, your talent, and the memories you gave us will live on forever."
