Actor Luke Perry is reportedly set to be remembered at a private celebration of life event in Hollywood.

The former Beverly Hills, 90210 star died on 4 March (19), five days after he was hospitalized following a massive stroke.

Perry was said to have been laid to rest last month (Mar19) in a low-key burial in Tennessee, where he owned a farm, and now it appears his Hollywood peers and colleagues will get the chance to bid a final farewell to the 52 year old during a special gathering, hosted by his relatives, on 14 April (19).

The invite, obtained by TMZ, features a photo of the actor cuddling up to his two dogs, and reads, "Please join the Perry family as we remember and celebrate the extraordinary life of Luke Perry."

Perry's TV co-stars are expected to be in attendance.

"Invitations to the private memorial service have been sent out," a source tells Us Weekly. "Cast and crew members from Beverly Hills, 90210 (and) Riverdale have been invited. The service will be at the Warner Bros. Studios (in Hollywood)."

The news emerges less than two weeks after old pal Brian Austin Green revealed the stars of their hit 1990s series Beverly Hills, 90210 had come together at the home of Gabrielle Carteris, who played Andrea Zuckerman on the beloved show, to salute his memory.

"(I saw) people I hadn't seen in at least 18 years," he explained on his podcast, ...With Brian Austin Green. "It was very mixed emotions because you were happy to see everybody and you felt like, 'God, it's been so long...', but what a horrible reason to have to see everybody again."

The evening proved to be incredibly emotional for the group: "It was definitely interesting. It had its fun, funny, like, laugh times and then it had its moments of... I don't fully know what to say," Green added. "I totally don't believe it. I don't fully believe Luke is gone. Luke has been in my life a long time and we had a really special relationship and I'm learning now that Luke really had a special relationship with everyone... He was a great human being."
