After the sudden passing of Luke Perry this week at the age of 52, stories continue to roll in about the gentleman and ally the actor was to some many in Hollywood.

Patricia and Rosanna Arquette tell ABC News that while he was filming "Beverly Hills, 90210," he stayed at their house and actually lived with Patricia, Alexis and David before his career took off.

Rosanna, who was out of the house by the time Perry stayed with them, said their mother especially "loved him."

"He was just like another son [to my mom]," she said. "He's an angel."

"He would fix her broken washer and dryer," Patricia said. "The thing about Luke is he never once said a bad thing in 30 years about anybody I never ever heard him. He never hurt anybody, he never did anything bad to anyone I mean Luke left this world very pure very clean with no baggage, nothing to make amends for."

The sisters added that it's such a shock and they feel for his family and his children. Perry died Monday, days after he suffered a massive stroke.

Those children that the Arquettes referenced have spoken out this week about the loss of their beloved father.

Jack Perry, the son of late actor, shared a touching post about his father on Wednesday.

In an Instagram post featuring photos of his father, the 21-year-old professional wrestler described his father's impact in his life. "He was a lot of things to a lot of people. To me, he was always Dad," he wrote.

"He loved supported me in everything, and inspired me to be the best that I could possibly be," he continued. "I’ve learned so much from you, and my heart is broken thinking about everything you won’t be here for. I’ll miss you every day that I walk this earth."

"I’ll do whatever I can to carry on your legacy and make you proud," he added. "I love you Dad."

Perry's 18-year-old daughter, Sophie Perry, also spoke out about the tragedy a day after her father's death.

"A lot has happened in this past week for me," Sophie Perry wrote in an Instagram post. "Everything is happening so fast."

"I made it back from Malawi just in time to be here with my family, And in the past 24 hours I have received an overwhelming amount of love and support," she added. "I cannot individually respond to the hundreds of beautiful and heartfelt messages, but I see them, and appreciate you all for sending positivity to my family and I."
