However, the pain runs especially deep for his co-star and close friend, Jennifer Aniston, who is said to be devastated by the sudden and shocking death of Perry.
The "Friends" cast and family members of Matthew Perry gathered at the Forest Lawn Church of the Hills in Los Angeles on Friday, October 3, presumably for his funeral service.

"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 revealed to Page Six. "It's a second massive loss in less than a year, with the one-year anniversary of her dad's death just around the corner. She still hasn't fully regained her footing from that, and now this has just completely knocked her off her feet."
Jennifer Aniston's father, John Aniston, was a well-known actor who appeared on the soap opera "Days of Our Lives" and passed away at the age of 89 in 2022.
The source added, "She is trying to regroup and recover, but it's been a completely devastating blow."
Matthew Perry's tragic death occurred on October 28, with initial reports suggesting he died by apparent drowning. He was discovered lifeless in the hot tub of his Pacific Palisades residence just after 4 pm, sending shockwaves through the entertainment industry and beyond.
