00:00 Kate Hudson is honoring Matthew Perry just days after his death.
00:04 On Monday, the almost famous actress shared a photo of the pair at the MTV Movie Awards
00:09 in 2004 on her Instagram stories and wrote,
00:13 "We played tennis and played more tennis, talked endlessly about trials and tribulations
00:19 of love and then would talk some more as we would laugh our asses off and then laughed
00:24 some more.
00:25 We share the same sadness with all our film and TV community who shared time with Matthew.
00:31 As you can see, to know him was to adore him.
00:34 I send my love and condolences to his family and his work families.
00:39 We love you, Matthew."
00:40 The 54-year-old's ex-fiancé, Molly Hurwitz, also broke her silence on his shocking death.
00:47 On Monday, the producer took to Instagram to share an emotional tribute to the Friends
00:51 star, who she was in a relationship with from 2018 to 2021.
00:56 He would love that the world is talking about how talented he was.
01:00 "And he really was very talented," she wrote.
01:03 She went on to share a sweet story from when the pair rewatched his hit sitcom ahead of
01:08 the 2021 HBO special.
01:11 "As the Friends reunion was approaching, we rewatched the show together.
01:15 F---, I was so good.
01:17 See what I did there?
01:18 We rewound and studied scenes.
01:21 Our respect and appreciation of humor is something that connected us.
01:25 Being with him as he rediscovered his brilliance was magical."
01:29 The 32-year-old also got candid about his addiction, adding,
01:33 "But I obviously knew this man in a very different way, too.
01:37 While I loved him deeper than I could comprehend, he was complicated, and he caused pain like
01:42 I'd never known.
01:43 No one in my adult life has had a more profound impact on me than Matthew Langford Perry.
01:49 I have tremendous gratitude for that, for everything I learned from our relationship.
01:54 I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Al-Anon, an invaluable resource for those who love
01:59 someone struggling with this destructive disease.
02:02 Maddie, I feel relief that you are at peace."
02:06 Matthew died on October 28th by an apparent drowning at his home in Los Angeles.
02:11 An official cause of death has not been released.

02:22 No apparent foul play is suspected, per law enforcement.
02:26 His Friends co-stars released a joint statement to NBC News on Monday, too, penning,
02:32 "We are all so utterly devastated by the loss of Matthew.
02:36 We were more than just castmates.
02:38 We are a family.
02:39 There is so much to say, but right now we're going to take a moment to grieve and process
02:45 this unfathomable loss.
02:47 In time we will say more, as and when we are able.
02:50 For now, our thoughts and our love are with Maddie's family and everyone who loved him
02:54 around the world."
