“We are all so utterly devastated by the loss of Matthew. We were more than just cast mates. We are a family,” they shared in a statement sent to People.

Cox and Perry had a special bond on the show, playing each other’s love interests - and after his death, it was revealed that the star had made the writers of Friends change a controversial cheating storyline.

The pair were supposed to be caught up in a scandal with Perry’s character cheating on her during a trip to Las Vegas in a 1999 episode titled The One in Vegas: Part 1.

The revelation was made by actress Lisa Cash, who was hired to play a hotel worker who brings room service to Chandler’s room after he has a huge fight with Monica.

“The scene was Chandler and Monica were arguing in Vegas about Monica having lunch with [ex-boyfriend] Richard and in our script, Chandler goes up to the hotel room and orders room service and I bring it up as a hotel worker,” Cash told TMZ.

However, Perry didn’t feel comfortable with the storyline and he went to the writers and asked for it to be changed.
