Jennifer Aniston Spotted At First Public Event Since Matthew Perry's Death

Jennifer Aniston has been spotted at her first public event since the passing of her "Friends" co-star, Matthew Perry.

The actress stepped out on Thursday for a screening with her “The Morning Show” co-stars Reese Witherspoon and Jon Hamm.

Jennifer Aniston went to Los Angeles for a screening Q&A to promote the upcoming season of "The Morning Show."

The public event marked Aniston’s first major public appearance since her “Friends” co-star, Matthew Perry, died at age 54 on October 28, per the New York Post.

As previously reported, Jennifer Aniston struggled hard following Perry’s death, even leaving loved ones worried. “Out of the remaining five, Jen and Courtney [Cox] are reeling the most, and Jen is probably the one who is struggling most acutely,” a source close to the actress said, per our previous report.

“It’s a second massive loss in less than a year, with the first anniversary of her dad’s death just around the corner," she added. "[Aniston] still hasn’t fully regained her footing from that, and now this has just completely knocked her off her feet.”

“She is trying to regroup and recover, but it’s been a completely devastating blow,” the source added.

The director of “Friends” also stated that Aniston and Courteney Cox were ‘destroyed’ after they found out of Perry’s passing. “I had texted the girls the day we found out,” he said. “They were destroyed. It’s a brother dying.”

Jennifer Aniston previously released a statement on the death of her “Friends” co-star, Matthew Perry, who was found unconscious in his hot tub in October.

When remembering Perry, the actress shared a series of photos, including a screenshot of a conversation Perry and Aniston had prior to his death.

“Oh boy this one has cut deep…,” Aniston began to write on social media. “Having to say goodbye to our Matty has been an insane wave of emotions that I’ve never experienced before. We all experience loss at some point in our lives. Loss of life or loss of love.”

She continued, “Being able to really SIT in this grief allows you to feel the moments of joy and gratitude for having loved someone that deep. And we loved him deeply. He was such a part of our DNA. We were always the 6 of us. This was a chosen family that forever changed the course of who we were and what our path was going to be.”

The “Friends” star then added, “For Matty, he KNEW he loved to make people laugh. As he said himself, if he didn’t hear the ‘laugh’ he thought he was going to die. His life literally depended on it. And boy did he succeed in doing just that. He made all of us laugh. And laugh hard. In the last couple weeks, I’ve been pouring over our texts to one another. Laughing and crying then laughing again. I’ll keep them forever and ever. I found one text that he sent me out of nowhere one day. It says it all.”

She concluded by saying, “Matty, I love you so much and I know you are now completely at peace and out of any pain. I talk to you every day… sometimes I can almost hear you saying “could you BE any crazier?” Rest little brother. You always made my day…”

It was previously reported that the “Friends” actress has been struggling with Perry’s death, even reportedly keeping to herself at his funeral.

The 54-year-old actress arrived at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Los Angeles’ Hollywood Hills neighborhood on November 3 for Perry’s memorial. She showed up first, with her security guards right by her side.

Although she arrived first, she did wait for the rest of her ‘Friends’ cast — Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, and David Schwimmer — to get there before making her way inside so they could go in together. Matt LeBlanc met up with them at a later time.
