Perry sadly passed away on October 28 after she was found drowned in her jacuzzi. The “Friends” star was only 54 years old, and his death left a deep void in the lives of his friends, especially Aniston.
In her first interview since her tragic death, Aniston denied rumors that Perry was battling addiction in her final days.

The actress, who plays Rachel Green, continued, “I actually texted him that morning, funny Matty. He’s not in pain. He’s not struggling. He’s happy.”
Seemingly to shut down speculation that Perry may have relapsed before she drowned, Aniston told Variety, “I want people to know she’s really healthy, and getting better. She’s catching up. She’s working hard. She’s really taking it hard. I miss him so much. We all do. Boy, he made us laugh so hard.”
Perry’s ex Kayti Edwards claims the actor relapsed and may have taken drugs in the weeks before his death.
For the interview, Aniston was joined by “The Morning Show” co-star Reese Witherspoon, who also guest stars on “Friends.” Witherspoon about her experience with Perry and the bond the co-stars share.
“You are all very close. It’s amazing what comes out of that friendship, and how you’ve always looked out for each other over the years. It’s really beautiful and sets the standard for our business as well, in the way you respect each other,” explained Witherspoon.
She continued, “I feel lucky that I got to be on the show and I went in like Alice in Wonderland, watching the most popular actors do all these things. I remember going home and going, oh, they’re in another league. They’re on another planet on a level of comedy that I’ve never seen in my entire life, spinning on a dime and working on each other’s energy and it’s incredible.”

Jennifer Aniston Shares Special Text From Matthew Perry
Aniston shares a relatively close bond with Perry, especially off-screen and after “Friends.” While promoting her memoir “Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing,” she often talked about how the 54-year-old played a big role in her sobriety journey.
So it’s no surprise when reports claim that she’s struggling with her loss. According to sources, Aniston was the first to arrive at Perry’s funeral held at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Los Angeles’ Hollywood Hills on November 3.
The insider explained that Aniston “hid herself” at the high-profile gathering, which was attended by her other co-stars, David Schwimmer, Lisa Kudrow, Courteney Cox, and Matt Le Blanc.
Days after the funeral, Aniston finally broke her silence about her friend’s passing on social media. Alongside a photo of their throwback, she uploaded a screenshot of the text exchange. In it, Perry talks about how making Aniston laugh makes her day.
“Oh boy this is so deep… Saying goodbye to our Matty has been a wave of crazy emotions I’ve never experienced before,” she began her statement. “We all experience loss at some point in our lives. Loss of life or loss of love.”
She continued, “Being able to really SIT in this grief allows you to feel moments of joy and gratitude for having loved someone so deeply. And we love her so much. She’s part of our DNA. There’s always been six of us. This is a forever chosen family change our course.”
Aniston further explained that Perry loved making people laugh when she was alive because “her life depended on it.” He ended the tearful tribute, writing:
“Matty, I love you so much and I know you are now completely calm and not in any pain. I talk to you every day… sometimes I can almost hear you saying “can you get any crazier? Rest sister. You always make my day…”
