Jennifer Aniston marks the one-year anniversary of Matthew Perry’s death with a touching tribute

Jennifer Aniston fondly remembers Matthew Perry as she celebrates one year after his untimely death.

The “Friends” star shared a collection of photos of her former castmate on Instagram on Monday, posting intimate moments from the set of the sitcom alongside a snap of a scene they shared together and a portrait photo of her late pal.

She captioned the post, “1 year,” which included emojis of a connected heart and a dove.

Aniston then tagged the Matthew Perry Foundation, the nonprofit founded in honor of the actor after he died in October 2023 at the age of 54 as a result of a ketamine overdose.

Perry was undergoing medically supervised ketamine treatment for depression and anxiety but was not under medical care at the time of his death.

The Matthew Perry Foundation remains committed to supporting people recovering from drug and alcohol addictions.

Throughout his life, the “17 Again” star has spoken openly about his struggles with drugs and alcohol, as well as his mission to help others overcome their substance abuse problems.

In his 2022 memoir “Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing,” Perry wrote: “When I die, as far as my so-called accomplishments go, it would be nice if ‘Friends’ were listed far behind the things I’ve done “To try to help other people.”

On Monday, Perry’s family appeared on the “Today” show to discuss the foundation’s continuation of his work.

“He made it a big focus of his life to help other people and encourage other people to say, ‘I need help.’ He tried to make people realize that this was a brave thing to do,” sister Caitlin Morrison told host Savannah Guthrie.

About a year after Perry’s death, friends and family are also demanding justice from those who helped supply the star with drugs.

Five people, including two doctors, have been charged in connection with his death in August.
