TMZ was told first responders were called for cardiac arrest. His pickleball coach posted a tribute saying Perry had been using the game as part of his sobriety journey, and had played hours before his death. Matt Manasse is known as the “Pickleball Coach to the stars” and has known Perry for two years. Manasse said Perry was doing so well at the time of his death, “He had so much that he was doing with his rehab facility and trying to get people clean,”  “He would bring them to teach them pickleball. He was just always trying to help people.”

Fans honored him by placing flowers outside the apartment building featured on “Friends”.

Tributes flooded socials from friends and fans.

Charlie Puth paid tribute and led a “Friends” theme sing along at his show in Melbourne.

My love Charlie Puth paid tribute to Matthew Perry at his concert today during his tour and it was beautiful.
