'Beverly Hills 90210' star Luke Perry in hospital after he suffered massive stroke

Los Angeles: Hollywood star Luke Perry, currently starring in "Riverdale", has been admitted to a hospital after he suffered a "massive" stroke.

The 52-year-old actor is "currently under observation at the hospital", his representative Arnold Robinson told the Hollywood Reporter.
