Kirstie Alley’s rep has revealed what her short cancer battle was, and what apparently killed her. It was colon cancer. Alley’s “Cheers” co-stars are reacting to news of her death, as we told you earlier, happened yesterday. Kelsey Grammar shared "I always believed grief for a public figure is a private matter, but I will say I loved her," while Ted Danson said "I was on a plane today and did something I rarely do. I watched an old episode of Cheers. It was the episode where Tom Berenger proposes to Kirstie.” He later added “As I got off the plane, I heard that Kirstie had died. I am so sad and so grateful for all the times she made me laugh. I send my love to her children. As they well know, their mother had a heart of gold. I will miss her." Rhea Perlman added "Kirstie was a unique and wonderful person and friend. Her joy of being was boundless.”
