Matthew Perry has been laid to rest in Los Angeles – with all five of his Friends co-stars attending the service.<\/p>\n

A private funeral took place at the Forest Lawn cemetery in the Hollywood Hills less than a mile away from the studios where the hit sitcom was filmed.<\/p>\n

Jennifer Aniston<\/strong>, Courteney Cox<\/strong>, David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc and Lisa Kudrow were among about 20 mourners, according to TMZ.<\/p>\n

Perry<\/strong>‘s mother Suzanne Perry and stepfather Keith Morrison, as well as his father John Bennett Perry, also attended alongside the Friends<\/strong> stars, reported US media including TMZ and celebrity news website Page Six.<\/p>\n

Forest Lawn is the burial place of celebrities such as Humphrey Bogart, Nat King Cole, Clark Gable, Michael Jackson and Elizabeth Taylor.<\/p>\n

Perry died at the age of 54<\/strong> last weekend after an apparent drowning at his LA home.<\/p>\n

He was best known for playing wise-cracking Chandler Bing in Friends between 1994 and 2004.<\/p>\n

In a statement, his co-stars said: “We are all so utterly devastated by the loss of Matthew. We were more than just cast mates. We are a family.<\/p>\n

“There is so much to say, but right now we’re going to take a moment to grieve and process this unfathomable loss.”<\/p>\n

Perry was open about his battle with substance abuse and addiction, and also set up a sober living facility for men with similar issues.<\/p>\n

A foundation has now been established<\/strong> to help others struggling with the disease.<\/p>\n

The Matthew Perry Foundation “will honour his legacy and be guided by his own words and experiences and driven by his passion for making a difference in as many lives as possible,” according to its website.<\/p>\n

It quotes Perry saying: “When I die, I don’t want ‘Friends’ to be the first thing that’s mentioned – I want helping others to be the first thing that’s mentioned.”<\/p>\n

The cause and manner of Perry’s death are to be determined by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office, following the completion of an autopsy with toxicology tests.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n[ad_2]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
