Actor Jennifer Aniston says she texted her "Friends" co-star Matthew Perry on the morning of his death, and he was "not struggling" with addiction at the time.
Perry died at the age of 54 on October 28 at his Pacific Palisades home here. The actor, who had detailed his life-long struggle with alcohol and drug addiction in his 2022 memoir, was found unresponsive in his hot tub and was believed to have drowned.

In an interview with Variety, Aniston said Perry was "happy and healthy." "He had quit smoking. He was getting in shape. I was literally texting with him that morning, funny Matty. He was not in pain. He wasn`t struggling. He was happy... "I want people to know he was really healthy and getting healthy. He was on a quest. He worked so hard. He really was dealt a tough one. I miss him dearly. We all do. Boy, he made us laugh really hard," the "Morning Show" star said.
