Friends star Matt LeBlanc has paid a heartbreaking tribute to his late co-star Matthew Perry two weeks after his tragic death.
Actor Matthew Perry, who was best known for playing Chandler Bing in the American sitcom, died aged 54 on October 28.
He reportedly drowned at his Los Angeles home. While full toxicology results will take at least another few weeks to return, an initial investigation found he did not have fentanyl or methamphetamines in his system when he died. A cause of death has not yet been officially determined by L.A. County Coroner, but it is not being treated as suspicious, the Manchester Evening News reports.

Now, co-star LeBlanc has become the first to share his own message. More than two weeks on from Perry’s death, the actor posted a heartfelt message to his Instagram page saying goodbye to his friend.
Alongside a selection of pictures, which showed the pair in their roles in the hit show as well as a behind-the-scenes snap of the six main cast members sharing a group hug, LeBlanc wrote: “Matthew. It is with a heavy heart I say goodbye. The times we had together are honestly among the favourite times of my life.
“It was an honour to share the stage with you and to call you my friend. I will always smile when I think of you and I’ll never forget you. Never. Spread your wings and fly brother you’re finally free. Much love.”
The 56-year-old then rounded off his post with a Friends reference. “And I guess you’re keeping the 20 bucks you owe me.”
