The popular TV sitcom 'Friends' has lost one of its stars.

Matthew Perry was found dead at his Los Angeles home, where first responders were unable to bring him back to life.

The 54 year old's cause of death is still under investigation.

Perry began acting at the age of 11.

However, he made it big when he was cast as Chandler Bing in Friends.

At 24, the youngest cast member rose to international fame.

News of Perry's death resulted in an outpouring of grief from fans.

Many travelled from near and far to pay tribute to the actor outside the Friends apartment in New York.

Hope Pace travelled from Nashville to grieve the loss of the star.

It's been almost 20 years since the last episode was filmed.

However, fans like Desislaba Stoeva still watch Friends daily.

Although Perry was successful and had many fans, he still had his personal struggles.

He was addicted to alcohol at age 14 and later he became addicted to the drugs prescribed to him by doctors.

Perry sought help at rehabilitation centres several times.

However, the drugs affected his health so severely that they almost resulted in his death.

Once he was better, Perry turned his house into a rehabilitation centre to help others who struggled with addictions too.

Fans of Perry, like Katie Cutler, will remember him as the cheerful and caring character Chandler Bing.
