The iconic sitcom 'Friends' (from September 1994 to May 2004) brought together the stellar cast of Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer, and the late Matthew Perry, who died at 54 in October 2023.
The cast members have a special place in Aniston's heart who teared up while penning a heartfelt tribute to her late friend, Perry. Accompanying a photo of the two of them, she wrote: "Oh boy this one has cut deep... Having to say goodbye to our Matty has been an insane wave of emotions that I’ve never experienced before.

She continued, "Independent in the most gorgeous way, cares for everyone even if she doesn’t know you. Terrified of dogs even though I’ve never known her NOT to have at least two of them ☺️ Fiercely loyal to the end. She’ll redecorate a room like nobody’s business. Spot a smudge on a window from a mile (literally) away. She doesn’t care what other people think!! 👏🏼👏🏼 I can’t imagine a world without her. It’s one of my great honors to call her one of my best friends for life… Happy happy birthday CC. I love you! ❤️"
