Jennifer Aniston didn’t forget to be there for Matthew Perry a year after her friendship Tragic death of fellow star at age 54.

On Monday (October 28), Aniston took to Instagram to share four images to mark the first anniversary of his death. The throwback photos were undated, but the hairstyles and outfits evoked Season 1 or Season 2 of the iconic NBC series (which ran for 10 seasons from 1994 to 2004).

For a moment he saw Perry and Aniston together in black and white. Another saw his character Chandler give Aniston’s Rachel a peck on the forehead. The third was a group Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlancand David Schwimmer huddled together. The last one was a solo photo of the late actor.

Aniston captioned the tribute “1 year” with a bandaged heart emoji and an angel emoji. She also tagged Matthew Perry Foundation in her legend. The foundation’s official Instagram bio says, “continuing Matthew’s enduring commitment to helping others struggling with the disease of addiction.”

In the comments, fans sent the star their best wishes and mourned the loss that happened exactly one year ago.

“This post is touching, he is up there watching over you. We know how much you loved each other and that will be eternal,” one fan wrote.

“Matty will always have Jenny’s love. He misses him so much. Forever with us,” wrote another.

“Sending love to Matty so proud of all you do jenny bean,” wrote a third.

Perry died unexpectedly in October 2023 from the “acute effects of ketamine” at his home in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles. A toxicology report released in December 2023 listed accidental drownings (Perry was found unconscious in the hot tub), coronary heart disease and the effects of buprenorphine as contributing factors.

Two weeks after his death, Aniston was the second cast member to release a statement of grief, writing a heartbreaking message on Instagram.

“Oh boy, this one cut deep…Having to say goodbye to our Matty was a crazy rush of emotions I’ve never experienced before. We all experience loss at some point in our lives. Loss of life or loss of love. Being able to truly sit in that pain allows you to feel the moments of joy and gratitude for having loved someone so deeply,” she wrote at the time.

“And I loved him deeply. He was part of our DNA. We were always the 6 of us… This was a chosen family that forever changed the course of who we were and what our path was to be. For Matty, he KNEW he liked to make people laugh. As he said himself, if he didn’t hear the ‘laughter,’ he thought he was going to die,” Aniston’s post continued. “His life literally depended on it. And boy, did he manage to do just that. It made us all laugh. And laugh hard.”

At the time, Schwimmer (Ross) also wrote a tribute to “Matty” on Instagram, while (Joey) and Cox (Monica) posted their own lengthy messages.

They came after o joint statement Two days after the devastating news, Cox, Kudrow, Anniston and LeBlanc shared, “We are all so devastated by the loss of Matthew. We were more than just cast mates. We are a family. There is so much to say, but now we will take a moment to grieve and process this unfathomable loss.”

While Perry’s death was ruled accidental last January, the case has since been reopened.

In August 2024, five people were arrested in connection with Perry’s death, with his longtime assistant Kenneth Iwamasa, longtime acquaintance and Dr. Erik Fleming pleading guilty. The Department of Justice announced that their investigation revealed a “vast underground criminal network” that showed those arrested “took advantage” of Perry by selling him ketamine.

Dr. Salvador Plasencia and Jasveen Sangha (a.k.a. “Queen of Ketamine”) pleaded not guilty to charges including conspiracy to distribute ketamine and distribution of ketamine.
