Former Beverly Hills 90210 star Tori Spelling has spoken of her reconciliation with her father shortly before his death.

The actress fell out with her father, successful TV producer Aaron Spelling, after she mocked her parents' devotion to online auction site eBay.

However, in a statement made to People magazine, the actress revealed that she had a chance to make up with the legendary mogul before his fatal stroke.

"I'm grateful I recently had the opportunity to reconcile with my father and most grateful we had the chance to tell each other we loved one another before he passed away," Spelling said.

She continued: "It's a true blessing to have had a parent that loved me unconditionally. He had a heart as big as his talent and today, along with many others, I mourn his loss. He was a great man and even better father."
