Matthew Perry’s family broke their silence after it was announced on Saturday, October 28 that the actor had died aged 54 after an apparent drowning.
In a statement shared with People on Sunday, they penned: “We are heartbroken by the tragic loss of our beloved son and brother.
“Matthew brought so much joy to the world, both as an actor and a friend. You all meant so much to him and we appreciate the tremendous outpouring of love.”
The statement came courtesy of his mother Suzanne Perry, his father John Bennett Perry, and his five half-siblings through his parents’ remarriages (they split up less than a year after welcoming Matthew in 1969).
More to come…
