As for, Cox, Aniston, Kudrow, LeBlanc and Schwimmer, they expressed their grief in a heartbreaking joint statement. “We are all so utterly devastated by the loss of Matthew,” they said in their statement to E! News. “We were more than just cast mates. We are a family.”
They continued, “There is so much to say, but right now we’re going to take a moment to grieve and process this unfathomable loss. In time we will say more, as and when we are able. For now, our thoughts and our love are with Matty’s family, his friends, and everyone who loved him around the world.”
