While promoting her book Spelling It Like It Is, Tori Spelling said she was hurt about how little was left for her when her father Aaron Spelling died in 2006.

Tori reportedly only inherited $800,000 of her father's millions after the late producer's death, while the bulk of his estate went to her mother, Candy Spelling.

"I lost my father, I lost my hero," Tori, 40, said in an interview with ABC News on Nov, 5. "But did I think I would get more? Yes."

Tori candidly discusses her finances in the book, including mention that she could not afford a vasectomy for her husband Dean McDermott after the birth of their fourth child. She said Tuesday she isn't broke, but has had to scale back on her finances.

Tori also revealed in the interview how allegations of nepotism have always followed her because of her role as Donna Martin in her father's hit 1990s drama Beverly Hills 90210. She denied getting special treatment in her first book sTori Telling. She wrote that while she did get the role because she was Aaron's daughter, her character Donna Martin was never meant to attain such a huge presence on the show.

"I didn't expect they'd pay much attention to me anyway-I was just a bit player...When the show first started, I had a really small part," she wrote in her first book. "Donna had about two lines per episode, and those lines were mostly complex dramatic encounters wherein I had to say something as deep and meaningful as 'Hi, Brenda' or 'See ya later, Kelly.' "

Now, in her sixth book, Spelling is embracing her name by putting "Spelling" in the title for the first time.

"I should be proud to say I am Aaron Spelling's daughter," she said.

The mother of Liam, 6, Stella, 5, Hattie, 2, and Finn, 1, also dishes on fellow celebrities and a stolen sex tape of her and her husband in the book, which was released on Oct. 22.
