Courteney Cox is the latest “Friends” cast member to pay tribute to Matthew Perry on the first anniversary of his death.
The actress posted a throwback photo of herself and her late co-star smiling at each other via Instagram Tuesday, as well a group shot with Jennifer Aniston, David Schwimmer, Lisa Kudrow and Matt LeBlanc.
“Missing you today and always ❤️ @matthewperryfoundation,” the “Cougar Town” alum, 60, captioned the slideshow.
Aniston, 55, was the first to honor Perry’s passing on social media with a carousel of photos from the sitcom’s set.
“1 year ❤️🩹🕊️ @matthewperryfoundation,” the “Morning Show” star wrote on Monday.
Schwimmer, 57, Kudrow, 61, and LeBlanc, 57, have yet to post.
Perry was found dead in his Los Angeles home’s hot tub in October 2023, with his cause of death later revealed to be “the acute effects of ketamine.”
The actor was 54.
At the time, a source told Page Six that his castmates were “reeling” from Perry’s “devastating” loss.
The stars subsequently released a joint statement before uploading individual social media tributes.
Cox, for her part, wrote in November 2023 that she was “so grateful for every moment” she had with Perry.
“To give a little backstory, Chandler and Monica were supposed to have a one night fling in London,” she noted of their respective characters. “But because of the audience’s reaction, it became the beginning of their love story.”
She concluded by calling Perry “funny and kind.”
In May, Cox told “CBS Sunday Morning” viewers that the “17 Again” star “visits [her] a lot” and she feels he is “around, for sure.”
Five individuals were charged with Perry’s death in August, with Dr. Mark Chavez and two others since pleading guilty.
