  • Summary

  • The "Friends" family is grappling with an immeasurable loss as we bid farewell to our dear Matthew Perry, beloved for his portrayal of the witty Chandler Bing, who passed away at his Los Angeles residence this past Saturday.


    Courteney Cox, Jennifer Aniston, David Schwimmer, Lisa Kudrow, and Matt LeBlanc have come together to share their profound grief and remembrances of their cherished co-star. Their heartfelt message, as exclusively revealed by People, speaks to the profound connection they shared: "Matthew's passing has left us utterly devastated. We weren't just a cast; we were a family. There are no words sufficient to express our emotions, but right now, we need time to mourn and process this unfathomable loss."


    This poignant statement marks the first public expression of their sorrow following Matthew Perry's tragic departure. They acknowledge that more will be said when the time is right: "In due time, we will share more, when we find the strength. For now, our hearts and thoughts go out to Matty's family, his friends, and everyone across the globe who loved him."


    Marta Kauffman, David Crane, and Kevin Bright, the creative forces behind "Friends," have also offered their condolences, expressing their shock and deep sorrow: "We are profoundly saddened by the loss of our beloved friend Matthew. We will forever cherish the joy, the brilliance, and the boundless generosity he brought not only to his work but also to life itself. He was the constant source of laughter in every room, and beyond that, he possessed the most kind-hearted and giving soul."


    Matthew Perry, a pivotal figure in the success of "Friends," was discovered lifeless in his Los Angeles home on Saturday, as reported by TMZ, with NBC News and the Los Angeles Times subsequently confirming this devastating news. The Los Angeles County coroner is yet to determine the cause of death following an initial investigation, a process that may take several weeks, according to the Associated Press.


    Throughout the ten-season journey of "Friends" from 1994 to 2004, Perry's talent and presence shone brightly as he portrayed Chandler Bing in all 234 episodes. In a heartfelt reunion special on HBO Max in May 2021, Perry reunited with his fellow original cast members – Cox, Kudrow, Aniston, Schwimmer, and LeBlanc. This unscripted gathering allowed them to reminisce, engage in trivia, and even perform a reading from the show's script.


    In his November 2022 memoir, "Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing," Perry revealed a personal triumph – his 18 months of sobriety. He expressed gratitude for his life and his opportunity to share his story with "Friends" fans and those grappling with addiction, hoping to combat the stigma and judgment surrounding this issue. Perry wisely stated, "In the end, admitting defeat was winning. Addiction, the big terrible thing, is far too powerful for anyone to defeat alone. But together, one day at a time, we can beat it down."
