​​And Paget Brewster, who portrayed Kathy on “Friends”, released a heartfelt statement to her on-screen love interest, Chandler, played by Perry, after finding out about his passing.

“I’m so very sad to hear about Matthew Perry,” she wrote, adding, “He was lovely to me on ‘Friends’ and every time I saw him in the decades after.”

The “Friends” actress also asked fans to “please read his book” as “it was his legacy to help”. Brewster is referring to Perry’s 2022 memoir, “Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing”, in which he opened up about his life and his struggle with alcohol and drugs.

The actress then pointed out that “[Perry] won’t rest in peace though.. He’s already too busy making everyone laugh up there.”

Rest In Peace, Matthew Perry.
