Tori Spelling's mother Candy has sensationally revealed that her daughter's decision to cut her family out of her life killed her father.
Mother and daughter have waged a bitter war of words ever since Aaron Spelling died in 2006, with Candy recently going public with the fact she has yet to meet her grandchildren.
But the relationship between her and actress-turned-reality TV star Tori has hit a new low thanks to remarks Candy made during a radio interview on Thursday morning (28May09).
Spelling told the Kellogg Crew on 94.7 WMAS in Massachusetts that her daughter's estrangement from her parents "killed my husband. He just didn't want to live after that."
She added, "He'd done everything he could possibly do for his daughter and then she wanted no part of him once he couldn't do anything for her."
The former Beverly Hills 90210 actress was expected to receive a large slice of her father's $500 million fortune when he died but was only given $800,000.
Her mother was the estate's executor at the time. Her brother, who was not estranged from his mother at the time, received a smiliar amount.
Spellign is now married Dean McDermott, after she divorced first husband Charlie Shanian, and together they have two children.
