Candy Spelling made some shocking statements against her daughter Tori Spelling on a Springfield, Massachusetts radio station, alleging that Tori's estrangement from her family "killed" her father Aaron Spelling.

Candy says one day her daughter stopped speaking to the family and she doesn't know "where the anger came from."

"It was sad," Candy tells the Kellogg Crew on 94.7 WMAS. "That's what killed my husband [Aaron]. He just didn't want to live after that."

She continues, "He'd done everything he could possibly do for his daughter and then she wanted no part of him once he couldn't do anything for her."

As for working things out with Tori, Candy says, "I've always been trying to work on the relationship."
