Even the writers on “Beverly Hills 90210″ didn’t make this much drama happen on screen.

The Spelling family has fired back to Tori Spelling regarding the interview she gave to US Magazine, in which she claimed her mother didn’t call to tell her about her father’s death, E! Online reports.

“We are deeply saddened that, during our time of loss and grief, we are forced to respond to the media frenzy caused by the mean-spirited and surprising comments made by Tori to the press,” the statement said.

It was unknown how many of the family members issued the release, but it is assumed it came primarily from Tori’s mother, Candy, and her brother, Randy.

The press release went on to say that the family didn’t exclude her from her father’s last days, the actress chose not to be there (Tori was in Toronto at the time of her father’s stroke and, apparently, his death as well).

“We understand how difficult it might have been for her to be here, and, perhaps, more difficult for her after she arrived,” the Spellings said. “Aaron loved both his children with all his heart, and he understood how hard it was for her.”
