Luke Perry's daughter Sophie Perry is grieving her father's death while she continues to celebrate life, exactly how he would have wanted it to be. However, she has been facing some backlash from vicious online trolls who have shamed her for her language, wardrobe, and also "grieving process."

In a candid social media post, Sophie shared, "Since my dad died I have received a lot of attention online. And most of it has been positive but of course, some people just can’t be nice. And I’m here to say that I did not ask for this attention, I did not ask to be thrown into some virtual spotlight, and while I don’t mean to offend anybody, I’m also not going to cater to anyone else’s needs and beliefs," she wrote alongside a selfie.
