Friends stars are said to be working on a joint statement for their friend, Matthew Perry, who died at the weekend.
The actor, best known for his role as the king of sarcasm Chandler Bing in the hit 90s sitcom Friends, was found unresponsive in the hot tub of his Los Angeles home on Saturday night. He was found by his assistant, who alerted first responders with a team arriving to find the tragic star dead at the scene.
Matthew will be remembered for starring in one of the most successful sitcoms of all time, alongside co-stars Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc and Lisa Kudrow. It's been reported the Friends stars are "reeling" from the death of their beloved pal and feel like they've "lost a brother".

“They believe that this is incredibly unfair, according to one of Lisa Kudrow’s friends, and no one saw this coming because they felt like he was in a really good place that he had one of his best years. He was so quick witted, the sarcasm was just so brilliant and he was handsome.
“But I do think that he helped people that were at home struggling with mental health issues, that he was such an escape for them and he was the soul of that show. Now we're finding out about all of this work he did behind the scenes to help other people with addiction," Kinsley told GB News.
Matthew was "an escape" for his friends (NBC)"And so while I am seeing those headlines, and people asking questions about could this potentially be related to some sort of drug issue, I would hope that it's not. His friends, co-stars hope that it’s not, deeply hope that it's not."
She added: “The reality is this is a man that had 14 surgeries related to his addiction issues and there might have been consequences to his body. But at this time point in time, we believe fiercely that he was in a good place, challenging his body playing pickleball for two hours, and in a good place mentally and physically, or at least trying to be.”
