The 54-year-old actor, who was most famously known for playing Chandler Bing on the sitcom, died unexpectedly at home from an apparent drowning on October 28. Though he had been open about his battle with substance abuse and alcoholism, police said no illegal drugs were found at the actor's Pacific Palisades home, and foul play was not suspected.

Multiple prescription pill bottles were found inside the home.

Last week, Aniston joined co-stars Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer and Matt LeBlanc to pay their respects to Perry at Forest Lawn Church of the Hills, where his funeral service was held on Friday.

Perry included his friendship with Aniston in his 2022 memoir, Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing, in which he detailed his long battle with addiction and how he nearly died in 2018 when his colon "exploded" from years of opioid abuse.

The Friends actor recalled Aniston confronting him about his substance abuse while on the set of hit show and praised her for doing so in his book.

"She was the one that reached out the most. You know, I’m really grateful to her for that," Perry told Diane Sawyer in an October 2022 interview, in which his best-selling memoir was discussed.
