Matthew Perry, renowned for his iconic role as Chandler Bing in the beloved sitcom Friends, has passed away.
The actor was discovered lifeless on a fateful Saturday afternoon, found in a hot tub at his Los Angeles residence, according to the LA Times, citing sources in law enforcement.
As the master of sarcasm and quick wit on NBC's Friends, which graced our screens for a decade from 1994 to 2004, Perry earned global recognition. Warner Bros TV, the producer of Friends, expressed their profound sorrow at the loss of their cherished friend, Matthew Perry.
His comedic brilliance left an indelible mark on the world, and his legacy will forever resonate in the hearts of countless fans. This day is filled with sorrow, and our love extends to his family, loved ones, and dedicated fans.
Maggie Wheeler, known for portraying Janice, Chandler's on-and-off girlfriend in Friends, was the first among Perry's co-stars to respond publicly to his passing.
"I am deeply grateful for every creative moment we shared," Wheeler shared on Instagram.
Perry, whose film credits include Fools Rush In and The Whole Nine Yards, had openly discussed his struggles with addiction and had sought treatment for painkillers and alcohol. In his 2022 memoir, "Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing," Perry recounted a harrowing five-month hospitalization in 2018 after a colon rupture, an ordeal that left him with only a 2 percent chance of surviving the night.
