‘I’ll miss you every day’: Courteney Cox and Matt LeBlanc pay tribute to Friends co-star Matthew Perry

In an Instagram post, LeBlanc said: “The times we had together are honestly among the favourite times of my life”. Perry, 54, died last month after an apparent drowning at his Los Angeles home.

Two of Matthew Perry’s Friends co-stars have paid tribute to the actor, with his on-screen partner Courteney Cox saying she misses him “every day”.

The actress, who plays Monica Geller in the show, wrote in an emotional Instagram post: “I am so grateful for every moment I had with you Matty and I miss you every day.”

Perry, 54, died last month after an apparent drowning at his Los Angeles home.

Matt LeBlanc, who played Joey Tribbiani, said it was an “honour to share the stage with you and to call you my friend”.

Also sharing a tribute on Instagram, LeBlanc wrote: “It is with a heavy heart I say goodbye. The times we had together are honestly among the favourite times of my life.

“It was an honour to share the stage with you and to call you my friend. I will always smile when I think of you and I’ll never forget you. Never.

“Spread your wings and fly brother you’re finally free. Much love.

“And I guess you’re keeping the 20 bucks you owe me.”

Cox shared what she described as one of her favourite moments with her friend “Matty”.

“To give a little backstory, Chandler and Monica were supposed to have a one night fling in London. But because of the audience’s reaction, it became the beginning of their love story.

“In this scene, before we started rolling, he whispered a funny line for me to say. He often did things like that. He was funny and he was kind.”

Perry’s death is being investigated by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office after a post-mortem examination with toxicology tests.

Perry was best known for playing wise-cracking Chandler Bing in Friends between 1994 and 2004. LeBlanc played Chandler’s roommate and best friend Joey Tribbiani.
