The women of “Charmed” are remembering their late co-star.

Julian McMahon, who passed away at 56 on Wednesday after a private cancer battle, was known for his role as the half-demon Cole Turner on the series that ran from 1998 to 2006.

The show revolved around three sisters, Piper Halliwell (Holly Marie Combs), Prue Halliwell (Shannen Doherty), and Phoebe Halliwell (Alyssa Milano), who uncover their identities as witches.

Doherty, who played Prue in the first three seasons of the series, died last July at age 53 after a lengthy battle with breast cancer.

After the “Beverly Hills, 90210” star’s departure from the show, Rose McGowan played their half sister Paige Matthews.

In response to McMahon’s passing, Combs, 51, Milano, 52, and McGowan, 51, expressed their farewells to the esteemed actor on social media.

“I’m heartbroken,” Milano, who was McMahon’s on-screen love interest, said on Instagram. “Julian McMahon was magic. That smile. That laugh. That talent. That presence. He walked into a room and lit it up—not just with charisma, but with kindness. With mischief. With soulful understanding.”

The “Melrose Place” actress went on to remember working alongside the “Fantastic Four” star on the WB hit.

“We spent years together on Charmed—years of scenes, stories, and so many in-between moments. He made me feel safe as an actor. Seen as a woman. He challenged me, teased me, supported me. We were so different, and yet somehow we always understood each other,” continued Milano.

“Julian was more than my TV husband. He was a dear friend. The kind who checks in. The kind who remembers. The kind who shares. The kind who tells you the truth, even when it’s uncomfortable—but always with love.”

Giving a nod to McMahon’s family, Milano concluded, “My heart is with Kelly, with Madison, and with Iliana—his girls, his world. He adored them. You could feel it in every conversation, every story, every text. He was a family man above all, and he loved deeply.”

“Losing him feels unreal. Too soon. Too unfair. Rest, my friend. I’ll carry your laugh with me. Forever Cole. Forever Julian.”

Milano’s heartbreaking words were accompanied by a slew of photos of her and McMahon, both on and off the air.

Combs also shared a touching sentiment, posting a sweet montage from their time on “Charmed,” which included a group shot with Brian Krause, who played Leo, and two photos of McMahon and Doherty.

“One of a kind is an understatement,” the “Pretty Little Liars” alum penned on Instagram Thursday. “Your unyielding zest for life and crazy making sense of humor will be sorely missed. The joy and laughter you were the direct cause of will always be remembered. I hope you find our lady friend and dance in those rose petals.”

Combs also shared clips of McMahon as Cole on her Instagram Stories, simply putting: “Rip My favorite pain in the ass ever.”

Krause, 56, took to his own Instagram page to pay tribute.

“Sad day for our Charmed family!” he said alongside a headshot of McMahon. “Julian was one of the funniest, devilishly handsome and kind souls! Prayers to his family and close friends! He will surely be missed!”

McGowan, meanwhile, re-posted a drawing of the “Nip/Tuck” star with angel wings, writing, “Oh Julian, you force of brilliance, wild talent and humor. For you, your family and loving fans all over the world, I pray comfort.”

The “Jawbreaker” vet also shared a second re-post of Krause’s tribute, captioning it, “Charmed family loves you.”

“Goodbye Julian,” McGowan added with a broken heart emoji in her third Instagram Story.

McMahon’s wife, Kelly Paniagua, confirmed the devastating news of his passing in a statement to the New York Post on Saturday.

She revealed that her husband died in Clearwater, Florida, after fighting the disease.

“With an open heart, I wish to share with the world that my beloved husband, Julian McMahon, died peacefully this week after a valiant effort to overcome cancer,” Paniagua said. “Julian loved life. He loved his family. He loved his friends. He loved his work, and he loved his fans. His deepest wish was to bring joy into as many lives as possible.”

She concluded her message with a call to the public, stating, “We ask for support during this time to allow our family to grieve in privacy. And we wish for all of those to whom Julian brought joy, to continue to find joy in life. We are grateful for the memories.”
