Remembering Matthew Perry: His Final Days, Rare Moments From Friends and More 

When he says he wants to be remembered for helping people, not for his role as Chandler, I hope he knew that Friends did help people. It brought families together, it gave them something to look forward to, it made friends out of strangers. His performance as Chandler helped me. For many depressed people he was what would make a smile appear.

You could tell he was a sweetheart. Like Robin Williams. He didn’t want anyone to feel how he felt. Thank you Matthew. Thank you.

Crying my eyes out, again. As others have said, it really does feel like a personal loss because some people watched friends when they were going through childhood abuse, struggles, addiction, depression etc. He truly was a very, very special man and I'm devastated that we've lost him. Fly and watch over us all, Matt man 💚

Matthew's passing has made me come into realization that the "Friends" era has finally come to an end. You'll forever be missed - RIP Matthew.

This tribute was beautifully done. I hope he realized how loved he was.

I can't remember the last time a celebrity death hit me this hard. I sobbed through this entire episode. I loved Chandler, but I routed for Matthew. RIP 🙏😥

It wasn’t just the fact he was “famous”. It’s the honesty. As someone who struggles with addiction. Matthew made things make sense, Reading excerpts of his book I’m learning more and more about him. I hope he knows that Friends isn’t all that he left behind, he will continue to help people. Rest easy 🙏

Beautiful tribute. I have never been rocked so hard by a celebrity passing. I was a big fan and read his memoir just a few weeks ago. It was stunning and I've recommended it to everyone since then. Even if you're not a fan, his book is a must read and an incredible insight into the mind of an addict.

This is very heavy. No more pain, Matt. We’re all just passing through.

This one really hit me hard. What a loss for this world. He wasn’t just an actor. He made lemonade out of his life’s lemons and truly wanted to help people. He did help people and he will continue to help people with his honest memoir. Rest peacefully Matthew ❤

I can watch friends over and over again. Friends cannot be fun without Matthew. I’m glad we have Friends to look back . RIP Matthew Perry . Thank you for all the smiles and laughter . Thank you for Friends

I literally screamed when I read the news of his passing. He was such a great guy. Funny as hell, charismatic & just amazing. RIP 💔

Poor guy. He was lovable onscreen and off. As somebody who luckily has never suffered addiction, it's hard to understand how self-destructive it is. Hope he found his peace.

Matthew Perry playing Chandler Bing gave us the most memorable one liners and scenes on Friends. My favorite sitcom character 😢 RIP Matthew you will be so missed ❤

This is still so heartbreaking. Matthew was always my fav character. His comic timing was everything. He made me laugh so much. I'll never be able to watch Friends again without sadness. Thank you for ALL the laughs Matt.

A series that no one can beat, thanks to the excellent actors and this wonderful story about friendship. You can leave this bad world, these crazy and evil times behind you for a while when you watch Friends. Peace, harmony and friendship, what every person actually wants. Thanks to everyone and R.I.P, Matthew Perry-Chandler Bings. Love you💖 See you in heaven

I had the pleasure of working on the set of FRIENDS, Matthew Perry was always my favorite to have a chat with, no pretense just kindness and a beautiful smile. Rest in Peace Matthew, thank you I for the laughter you gave us for so many years😢

The saddest thing is that Matt did not realize how beautiful he was, how much he deserved to be loved by a wife and have kids with her. He was alone when he passed maybe a little happy but alone.

This was sooo BEAUTIFUL!! I have always been a big fan of 'Friends' but I have been a BIGGER FAN of Matthew Perry. I just wanted him to KEEP FIGHTING and KEEP WINNING against his battles. I cannot stop crying...he's at peace now...REST EASY MATTHEW PERRY...you have helped and encouraged more people than you will ever know...

He touched countless lives with his talent and humor. His legacy will forever live on in the hearts of those who adored him. Rest in peace, Matthew.

Incredible how I can feel so much pain in my heart for someone I've never met. May your memory be for a blessing Chandler bing

Matthew was on borrowed time. He lived long enough to wrap up the Friends reunion, write a book on his addiction, struggles, challenges and raise awareness to help those in the same situation. There was closure, in an ironic way. RIP Mattman

I spoke to my mother earlier today. She told me my dad in his 80's is having a hard time with his passing. When id go over to stay Dad and I would binge watch a few episodes and laugh. Man, along with Elvis, Thurmon Munson of the NY Yankees and Prince I don't think I've ever felt such a loss. Rip in peace Matthew. I hope as your soul looks down on us, you see the affect/effect you have had in our lives.

I'm still reeling from this news, can't believe he's no longer with us. He was so special toe and made me smile and laugh on my toughest days. My favourite actor and I love him even more for his warmth, compassion and kindness, he truly wanted to help people. God bless you, Matthew and thank you for being my comfort and joy on days when I felt like giving up. I will always love you and will forever miss you xxx

I cannot believe we lost him😢

I have not been one for crying over celebrity deaths, but I was full on ugly crying over his death. Thank you Matthew, for the laughs, the one liners, and making the world feel like you were their friend.

No more bad dreams. Rest in peace, my friend. Thank you for the years of smiles, and most especially the soulful insight you shared with the world. Your honesty helped (as it will continue to help) so many traveling the painful path of addiction.

I am sure ...He is in paradise living in peace and not having to struggle everyday in this life....He had the kindest heart...It wasnt fair what he had to endure his whole life😢

His loss feels so personal to many😢.. Rip Matthew.. your legacy lives forever

This is perceived as a personal loss. A man with a wonderful sense of humor, an immensely talented actor. A person who openly spoke about his trouble, about addiction, with the goal of sharing how to cope with it. We love you, Matthew! We just have to turn on “Friends” and you will be with us again. Thanks for your hard work. With great love and respect from Kazakhstan.

This is not our home. We’re all just passing through. And we all have our own personal demons to fight in this journey. Rest easy, Matt. He’s got you now. Rest in His loving, merciful hands.

Losing Matty still doesn't seem real. I'm devastated. This was a beautiful tribute to a wonderful friend. Keep them laughing in Heaven. Fly high. 🕊️🙏❤️

He's the bestest of all I cried for two days straight but after seeing this I realised that he did everything he could to survive. He was such a generous and a kind human being and now he can rest peacefully 🙏

It’s so amazing that one silly TV show can save someone’s life…I am a survivor of child sexual abuse and wanted to end my life many times in a past. I was born in Japan and moved to America when I was 24 in order to run away from my abusive family. Because I couldn’t speak English, I was so alone and scared everyday. Friends didn’t only help me to learn English but also helped me to laugh at silly things in everyday life, which got me through difficulties. Despite all the struggles, Matthew managed to make that happen for me through the show. I am forever grateful for his work.

I hope Mathew knew the impact he had on everyone he worked with and his fans. We will continue watching Chandler Bing to put a smile on our face, but I will remember Mathew Perry for his courage and bravery for sharing his story, his compassion for others sharing his struggle with addiction. You will be remembered for that Mathew, rest easy.

R.I.P. Matthew, a wonderful actor, a wonderful character, a wonderful human being! You are loved! Thank you for playing Chandler and thank you for being many people's friend in real life!

We never truly know someone's struggle but Matthew decided to share his in his book. His pain was indescribable but I hope he can rest now. I'm speechless and so sad for his suffering when he brought so much laughter and light to other people. He reached true enlightenment and self-awareness here and I'm glad of that. He came full circle but I'm also dismayed that his story ended like this. He truly made it his mission to understand his disease and the affliction he was so tortured by.

This is so sad. Makes me miss my best buddy, who I lost a few years ago. He was more like a brother. I hope Matthew Perry is up there making everyone laugh and is feeling so healthy. He seemed like a real, genuine, true friend, like my best friend, Jeff. May you both Rest In Paradise.

I cried when Robbin Williams passed on and I cry for Matthew Perry too. He was my favourite character in FRIENDS. His sense of humour matched mine. Its so sad he struggled so much. He will be deeply missed.

This is one exceptional tribute to Matthew Perry. I watched Friends from 9/22/1994 to 5/6/2004. I then watched it during the pandemic... all 10 seasons. I watched the Friends Reunion on HBO on 5/27/2021. I'm now watching the Friends show again... all 10 seasons. I will miss Matthew forever and always 💔

The one where it really is the end of an era....RIP and thank you, Matthew.

Matthew was so much more than just a celebrity. I read his book and he went through so much. He was the most authentic person about his demons. He had a compassionate heart. Rip Matthew. We loved you.

Every time you think about Matthews passing it's like you're hearing it for the first time it's such a shock.

I love that Matthew wanted to be remembered as someone who wanted to help others. Love you Matthew. We will miss you. Rest in peace Chandler. Thanks for the memories, this death hit hard like Robin Williams, can't stop crying. Beautiful tribute!

God was there for you.. You said it ---I don't care what anyone thinks of me for saying this... He did not die alone... God was there with him! You fought hard.. I have said this on other videos as I mourn this loss... REST... Just rest now.

I wish he could of had children. He would have been a great father. Marvelous funny man, handsome, you just know he was sweet. Miss you….be at peace now.

He was, and always will be,my favourite friend. His comedic timing in the show was utter brilliance, timing that only a true actor of his calibre is able to master. Sleep well Matthew Perry, we all know in our hearts you'll STILL always be trying to make us laugh even though your in heaven. Goodbye Chandler. X

Beautifully done. RIP Matthew ❤

The best character on Friends… May you rest in peace Chandler Bing ❤️

He was truly a lovable human being, whether it was on screen or off, he clearly cared for others, and wanted to help those get through addiction even when struggling himself, he wanted more for those people, he didn’t want them to suffer the way he had, RIP Matthew, you will be forever missed

He will forever in our hearts. Rest in peace, Matthew

I was always rooting for him from Growing Pains to Odd Couple, I watched his career on screen and was encouraged by how he kept going. His book is going to help people. It's amazing. What a life. What odds he overcame. What a legacy. And what a reminder of how our days are numbered.💔

I have never been sad for an actor until now. He wasn't only an actor from the other side of the world but a true friend.

Could this man BE anymore missed 😢

He was my friend when I felt absolutely lonely. Growing up was hard, but he made it easy and I never felt alone when watching friends. Well done. “Can it BE any more painful than this “ .

If Matthew Perry’s Family read these posts I am so sorry for your loss. Loved watching him in friends.

What a great tribute. Rest in a peace Mathew Perry. I love your saying “the one thing I did right was never give up”, it’s mine now too ❤

😢 Matthew is addiction free now ,living joyfully on the other side. I've a friend who battles the same demons Matthew spoke of and for the same reasons Matthew said he broke up with Julia, my friend self sabotages his life the same way. He's been in four-five rehab stints, he's got a heart condition now...and he's only 35. I pray for him all the time.

I hope that Matthew felt as much love and affection while he was alive and that he was aware of how much he was appreciated

Such a heartfelt tribute to a fantastic person who had suffered through his own darkness and came out stronger. May his legacy live on forever. RIP, Matthew. We will see you on the other side. #MuchLove

I hope he knows that him being Chandler helped so many people get through tough times in their lives, myself included. He brought so much laughter and comfort to a struggling 10-year-old me as well as many others. Rest in peace, Matthew. I hope you’re finally happy.

I've Prayed for Matthew. And I will be Praying for his family and his friends. I just knew he was a kind soul. It takes a special person to leave such a mark on so many hearts and hearts that he never knew and Matthew Perry was that kind of a person. 🙏❤

Matthew was a man with a pure heart. Dude you will be missed ❤

5:47 That “well done, my son” from Morgan Fairchild got me teared up 😢

This is fkn heartbreaking. I watched these guys so much that I feel like I lost someone I personally knew. Such a gut punch.

He was such a sweet guy with the heart of gold. He will be really missed by people all over the world. May he rest in peace.Amen

Such a sad sad tragedy.....He will be so greatly missed. Very hard to believe he's gone. RIP Matthew.

Matthew will be sadly missed, he has managed to make me smile for many years, and once I manage to stop crying he will once again make me smile when I re-watch him. he was such a sweet and caring man RIP Mathew Perry

Of all celebrity's passing, this one hit me the hardest. I grew up watching Friends and became quite addicted to the show and all the cast members. May you rest in peace Mr. Matthew Perry....you will be fondly missed.

Sometimes those that make us laugh the most are those that are suffering inside. I hope you're at peace Matthew ❤

Terribly heartbroken over his loss. He fought his demons and at the end he wanted to help others nothing but good things to say about him .

I used to record this show, back in the day. We are the same age. I loved “Friends” and it will never be the same. Chandler Bing forever. We will all miss you, Matthew Perry. ❤️‍🩹

We didn't knew how much he struggled in life because Chandler was always the life of the party. At least he got to turn his life around before he passed away. RIP Matthew Perry

Man, I'll miss him. He was one in a billion ❤

What a beautiful person he was , very funny and deeply cared for others . I could see the pain in his face , we can't hide it tbh. Im the same . Addiction is a brutal killer and is just as serious as any other illness or health problem. Amazing resilience from Matthew and will miss him dearly. He is at peace now and he no longer needs to fight or battle anymore. 😢❤ x

No matter how famous you are....sometimes there is nobody else to be with you in the end RIP

Sir Matthew Perry-Matty-he did and always will help the world with his natural, God blessed, comedic skills on the show Friends. RIP with all the angels and saints and God - you will never be forgotten. Prayers for all who knew him personally, and I believe God will be blessing his soul for eternity, because he was a blessing to the world. 🙏😇😇🙏💔

I’m still in shock at his passing..I hope he new how more joy and laughter he brought to millions and millions of people..He was a kind icing man as all of his friends have expressed.. RIP Matthew..you were adored by those that love you and adored by millions of fans..You left an amazing legacy of a remarkable show that has a special place in all our hearts and touched so many generations and growing..Your open..honest and raw frankness in discussing your addiction struggle have touched all that admire you and those that have the struggle..

I’m watching Friends all over again 😢 brought me back to high school, he will be dearly missed ❤

It's nice to see how the cast got along on and off set. I think it makes the show even better when there is that kind of synergy. R.I.P. Matt Perry, may you find peace now ✌️

I grew up with 'Friends'. And to learn of his addiction as an adult was heartbreaking enough. This is just devastating. RIP Matthew Perry.

He was funny, but so serious, so normal, and smart & logical, it is a terrible sadness at his passing, R.I. P. Matthew, you are nice, was a very special and caring person, all who have seen you on TV or movies, all knew he was special, and tried how hard he he wanted to help others

Almost 2 weeks later i still feel like i just got the news. I didn’t even personally know him…. How much i miss him😢 thank you for your book and your passion!🎉

Absolutely devastating 💔 I loved him so much, he was so funny. RIP Matthew ❤🙏🏼

My heart ❤️ is breaking 💔. Our world will never be the same w/o Matthew in it. I'm sorry u struggled with alcoholism & drug abuse 😔. Matthew just know u were loved & will be missed 🎉❤. RIP dear sweet Matthew 😢. 💔🙏🕊💙🕯✨️🌷🌟💖🌈💧🌎⭐️💕😇

The sadest part I felt when I heard he died, even though I never met him in person and he never knew who I was, I feel such a loss of his life bc of HOW MUCH he helped ME by opening up in his Diane Sawyer interview and ESPECIALLY WHAT he said when she asked those words at the very end 'How could we tell when you're in trouble?' The fact that he was soooo willing to open up like this to her for us and share his therapy and experiences!!! It REALLY made me just sit and really, really think until I could answer that question myself to share the answer with my own family! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU SOOOOO much for your help Matthew Perry!!! Even though you don't know me!!!! The 1st thing that I thought of when I heard of your passing and the 1st thing that I'll think about you for the rest of my life is how much your open and honest interview helped me personally! Just like your wish, that you wanted 'helping people' to be the 1st thing that other people remembered about you (instead of Friends)! I CERTAINLY DO!!! I just wish you were still around to hear this! You're very missed!!! #1stThingHEHelpedME! #Remember1stHEhelpedPEOPLE!!!

Chandler was always my favorite. You could feel his vulnerability and his kindness. He was a brilliant comedian. I miss him and didn’t even know him personally. They didn’t mention the role he played in “The West Wing”. I loved him in that show also. Love you, Matthew. I’ve experienced my own very dark places…it makes life very hard.

I love who you are! I respect your struggles! May God keep you well, safe, and pain-free! You're in heavenly my beautiful brother on earth😢😢😢😢😢❤🙏🙏🙏😭❤️

This made me cry 😭 Lord knows I loved that man like I was related to him. So heartbroken for his family and his other fans

What a moving and fitting tribute. Still in shock at his passing. Rest in peace x

Man that hit hard, he's going to be missed.

I believe in him helping others throughout his life, he achieved everything he hoped would be! In love..🙏❤ legacy remembered 🙌

Best tribute I've seen. Thank you. Rest easy Chandler Bing you were truly one of a kind😢❤

I sat here watching this and tears running down my face. I loved his character in Friends but I will always remember his struggle with addition and his wanting to help others. What a beautiful person inside and out. I will miss you Matthew Perry.

A perfect tribute! He deserved all the love he received and will keep recieving. Gone too soon

We should all binge-watch Friends. Through laughter, Matthew will continue to help people.

He was such a massive light to this world 😢. He will be dearly missed by many.

My heart is broken. 💔 I can’t stop sobbing! My only solace is, I know that he is at peace now. He will be missed. ❤️🙏

I have been sober for 5 years now! and I know how hard it is to struggle! May He rest in peace!
