Perry was found dead in the hot tub of his Los Angeles home in October 2023. His cause of death was later determined to be “the acute effects of ketamine.”

The actor was 54.

At the time, a source told Page Six that his castmates were “devastated” by Perry's “devastating” loss.

The stars then released a joint statement before uploading individual tributes to social media.

For her part, Cox wrote in November 2023 that she was “so grateful for every moment” she had with Perry.

“To give a little backstory, Chandler and Monica were supposed to spend a night in London,” she noted of their respective characters. “But because of the audience’s reaction, it became the beginning of their love story.”

She concluded by calling Perry “funny and kind.”

In May, Cox told “CBS Sunday Morning” viewers that the “17 Again” star “visits her often” and she feels like he's “definitely there.”

Five people were charged in Perry's death in August, with Dr. Mark Chavez and two others have since pleaded guilty.
