After Matthew Perry's passing, his Friends family, including Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer, paid tribute to the actor in a moving message.
"We are all so utterly devastated by the loss of Matthew," the five stars began in a joint statement to E! News. "We were more than just cast mates. We are a family."
They continued, "There is so much to say, but right now we're going to take a moment to grieve and process this unfathomable loss.""In time we will say more, as and when we are able," Aniston, Cox, Kudrow, LeBlanc and Schwimmer added. "For now, our thoughts and our love are with Matty's family, his friends, and everyone who loved him around the world.
"We are shocked and deeply, deeply saddened by our beloved friend Perry's passing," they said in a joint statement, obtained by NBC News Oct. 29. "It still seems impossible. All we can say is that we feel blessed to have had him as part of our lives.""He was a brilliant talent. It's a cliché to say that an actor makes a role their own, but in Perry's case, there are no truer words," the trio continued.
"Throughout the years, he and I found ourselves reminiscing about that meaningful time in our lives with a deep sense of nostalgia and gratitude," she continued. "My friend, you are gone much too soon, but I will continue to cherish your silliness, your perseverance, and your lovely heart. Farewell, sweet Matthew, we will never forget you.", "He had a good sense of humor and a good heart.
"He struggled so much with addiction and was brave enough to be open and honest about it," Olivia Munn wrote on Instagram Story Oct. 28. "I'm so sorry to his family and friends who are getting this news today. Nothing short of heartbreaking."
