Actress Suzanne Somers passed away Sunday morning at her home after a battle with cancer. She was 76 and set to turn 77 on Monday.

"Suzanne Somers passed away peacefully at home in the early morning hours of October 15th. She survived an aggressive form of breast cancer for over 23 years," her publicist, R. Couri Hay, told "Page Six."

"Suzanne was surrounded by her loving husband Alan [Hamel], her son Bruce, and her immediate family."

Somers' husband, Alan Hamel, had revealed less than three months ago that his wife's breast cancer had returned.

Somers, a star of the TV show "Three's Company," was first diagnosed with breast cancer in her 50s. She battled hyperplasia, or initial stages of cancer, twice in her 20s as well as skin cancer in her 30s.

"I have been living with cancer since my 20s. And every time that little f—ker pops up, I continue to bat it back," Somers, also a star of "Step by Step," told Entertainment Tonight in July. "I do my best not to let this insidious disease control me."
