Jennifer Aniston, who played Rachel Green in 'Friends' penned an emotional eulogy to honour late actor, Matthew Perry. Perry breathed his last on October 28 as he was found dead in a hot tub at his home in California. The actor was just 54. 

She shared a picture and a video from the show on Instagram and wrote, ''Oh boy this one has cut deep... Having to say goodbye to our Matty has been an insane wave of emotions that I’ve never experienced before. We all experience loss at some point in our lives. Loss of life or loss of love. Being able to really SIT in this grief allows you to feel the moments of joy and gratitude for having loved someone that deep. And we loved him deeply. He was such a part of our DNA. We were always the 6 of us. This was a chosen family that forever changed the course of who we were and what our path was going to be."

The actress also shared a text message sent by Perry to her. "For Matty, he KNEW he loved to make people laugh. As he said himself, if he didn't hear the ‘laugh’ he thought he was going to die. His life literally depended on it. And boy did he succeed in doing just that. He made all of us laugh. And laugh hard. In the last couple weeks, I’ve been pouring over our texts to one another. Laughing and crying then laughing again. I’ll keep them forever and ever. I found one text that he sent me out of nowhere one day. It says it all. (See the second slide…)", wrote Aniston, 54.

 "Matty, I love you so much and I know you are now completely at peace and out of any pain. I talk to you every day… sometimes I can almost hear you saying 'could you BE any crazier?' Rest little brother. You always made my day…" she ended her post.

Matthew's other co-stars from 'Friends' including David Schwimmer, Courteney Cox and Matt LeBlanc also paid tributes to the late actor on social media.
