Fans are attacking Courteney Cox, and the other 'Friends' actors, for remaining silent on Matthew Perry's death.

Although the cast of 'Friends' released a joint statement shortly after the 54-year-old actor was found unresponsive in his hot tub, none of them have posted to social media individually.

Courteney Cox's last Instagram post was two days before Matthew Perry passed away, but that is not stopping fans from flooding the comments section, calling the actress's silence "weird" and "confusing."

Although the five 'Friends' actors and actresses -- Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, David Schwimmer, Lisa Kudrow, and Matt LeBlanc, released a joint statement following Perry's death, none of them have spoken out individually.

Now, fans are taking to Courteney Cox's most recent post, which, again, was posted prior to Perry's death, telling the actress that her silence is "confusing."

"I find [it] a bit weird how all the cast of 'Friends' have not posted anything about Matthew Perry ??," one of her followers wrote.

Another commented, "It's very strange that no one has said anything about Chandler, really why????"

A third wrote, "She never posted about Matthew death's ?? Why ?? This is so confusing ? even the others like Jennifer and Matt ??," as another follower chimed in with, "Interesting no actor and across no post about Matthew Perry why? 14 years you play with Matthew but no post yet."

"Courteney, do you even know that your friend on the show died? At least I would say words of support!," one fan said.

It is important to remember that the cast of 'Friends' acted together for years on the sitcom, 'Friends', and they were practically family. This is a devastating and unexpected loss, and the cast is trying to cope during this unprecedented time.

The entire cast did attend Matthew Perry's memorial last weekend.
