Perry, 54, played the role of Chandler Bing for ten seasons Friends. It is one of the most popular sitcoms in TV history.
The actor was found dead at his home in Los Angeles on Saturday evening. He is said to have drowned in a jacuzzi.
The creators of the series Friends, producers Marta Kauffman, David Crane and Kevin Bright, learned of Perry’s death with great sadness. The writers and producers of the still popular sitcom tell American media that the actor, who played Chandler Bing in the series, had a great talent.
“We are shocked and deeply, deeply saddened by the passing of our friend Matthew. It still seems surreal,” the trio said. “All we can say is that we feel blessed that he was a part of our lives.”
