star was found dead in his hot tub at his house in Los Angeles, California. The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to ET thatET has reached out to Perry's reps for comment. He is survived by his mother, Suzanne Marie Morrison, and his father, John Bennett Perry. Continued the statement,"You all meant so much to him and we appreciate the tremendous outpouring of love."
Whitford continued,"They don’t have award shows for that. They should. Matt was full of contradictions. He was hilariously self deprecating and insecure and wildly self confident. He was a fountain of light with a huge capacity for darkness. He was profoundly blessed and terribly cursed. I want his parents to know that Matt was kind. Not just to his costar. To everyone.
"We are shocked and deeply, deeply saddened by our beloved friend Matthew’s passing. It still seems impossible. All we can say is that we feel blessed to have had him as part of our lives," read the statement."He was a brilliant talent. It’s a cliche to say that an actor makes a role their own, but in Matthew’s case, there are no truer words. From the day we first heard him embody the role of Chandler Bing, there was no one else for us.
