Suzanne Somers lost her years-long battle with cancer just one day before her 77th birthday, Page Six can exclusively confirm.
The actress died early Sunday at the age of 76, the star’s longtime publicist, R. Couri Hay, tells us.
“Suzanne Somers passed away peacefully at home in the early morning hours of Oct. 15. She survived an aggressive form of breast cancer for over 23 years,” he says.
“Suzanne was surrounded by her loving husband, Alan [Hamel], her son, Bruce, and her immediate family.”
Hay notes that Somers’ family had planned to gather on what would have been her 77th birthday Monday.
“Instead, they will celebrate her extraordinary life, and want to thank her millions of fans and followers who loved her dearly,” he concludes his statement.
“A private family burial will take place this week, with a memorial to follow next month.”
A friend tells Page Six that the “Three’s Company” star died beside her husband, Hamel.
“She died in her new ‘all green home’ in Palm Springs in her sleep with her loving husband by her side,” the pal says.
