Sarah Michelle Gellar will never forget her dear friend Shannen Doherty, and the Buffy legend is sharing some of their greatest memories in her honor.
Gellar, 48, took to Instagram on Sunday, the first anniversary of Doherty's death at age 53 after a long battle with cancer. In a sweet video tribute set to "See You Again," the duo can be seen doing everything from horseback riding and checking out museums to drinking cocktails and blowing out birthday candles together.

Gellar previously spoke about how important Doherty was to her entire family. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Doherty helped Gellar with her two children as they navigated homeschooling, Gellar shared on Doherty's podcast, Let's Be Clear with Shannen Doherty.
"You gave them adventures and just, freedom. And I can never repay that because that was such a difficult time and so seeing my kids that happy and giving me a break," Gellar said, PEOPLE reported. "People don't know this, but Shannen sat there sometimes while they were on Zoom school and helped them and we would have blackouts and she would plan adventures."
