Co-stars, friends pay tribute to Perry

MANILA, Philippines — Tributes have poured in from fellow cast members, friends from across the world of television and movies, the Canadian prime minister and Perry’s favorite ice hockey team.

Here is what people have said:

Maggie Wheeler, who played Chandler Bing’s on-and-off-again girlfriend Janice on Friends, wrote on Instagram that she feels “so very blessed by every creative moment” with Perry.

“What a loss. The world will miss you Mathew Perry. The joy you brought to so many in your too short lifetime will live on.”

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who went to Rockcliffe Park Public School alongside Perry, said he would “never forget the schoolyard games we used to play.”

Matthew Perry’s passing is shocking and saddening. I’ll never forget the schoolyard games we used to play, and I know people around the world are never going to forget the joy he brought them. Thanks for all the laughs, Matthew. You were loved – and you will be missed.

Morgan Fairchild, who played Chandler Bing’s mum Nora Tyler Bing on Friends, wrote a touching tribute to her “son.”

“I’m heartbroken about the untimely death of… Perry. The loss of such a brilliant young actor is a shock. I’m sending love & condolences to his friends & family, especially his dad, John Bennett Perry, who I worked with on Flamingo Road & Falcon Crest.”

Paget Brewster, who played Kathy in Friends’ fourth season, wrote Perry would not rest in peace as “he’s already too busy making everyone laugh up there”.

I’m so very sad to hear about @MatthewPerry.  He was lovely to me on Friends and every time I saw him in the decades after. Please read his book. It was his legacy to help. He won’t rest in peace though.. He’s already too busy making everyone laugh up there.

Meredith Salenger, who starred alongside Perry in 1988’s A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon, said she had “no words”.

Oh no no no no no! Matty!

Oh man. My heart breaks. Matty...
