November 3rd 2023.
Today, friends and family of the beloved actor Matthew Perry gathered at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Los Angeles' Hollywood Hills neighborhood to pay their final respects. His father, John Bennett Perry, and stepfather, Keith Morrison, were photographed arriving at the site, as well as his Friends co-stars Courteney Cox, Jennifer Aniston, David Schwimmer, and Lisa Kudrow, who were seen in an aerial paparazzi shot.
The cemetery is the final resting place of many famous stars, such as Michael Jackson, Elizabeth Taylor, Carrie Fisher, and Paul Walker. It is also opposite Warner Bros. studios, where Friends was filmed.
Matthew Perry's death earlier this week shocked the world, especially considering his young age of 54. It is thought that he drowned in his jacuzzi. His loved ones chose to honour him in a brilliant way, by setting up The Matthew Perry Foundation in his memory.
The foundation's website released a statement, saying: "The Matthew Perry Foundation is the realisation of [his] enduring commitment to helping others struggling with the disease of addiction. It will honour his legacy and be guided by his own words and experiences and driven by his passion for making a difference in as many lives as possible."
Perry was very open about his struggles with substance abuse, and spent a great deal of money and time in rehab. He spoke about his experiences publicly in order to help others, and now his lasting legacy will be The Matthew Perry Foundation. He will be dearly missed.
