All five remaining members of theFriendscast have honoured their friend and cast mate Matthew Perry following his death last month.

Matt LeBlanc, Courtney Cox, David Schwimmer, Lisa Kudrow and Jennifer Aniston have all shared individual tributes to Perry, who died on October 28 at age 54, remembering him as a kind, deeply funny person whom they loved.

Jennifer Aniston.

"Oh boy this one has cut deep," Aniston began her post, alongside a behind-the-scenes image of her and Perry laughing.

She said saying goodbye to Perry had been an "insane wave of emotions" she had never experienced before.

"Being able to really SIT in this grief allows you to feel the moments of joy and gratitude for having loved someone that deep. And we loved him deeply," she continued.

"He was such a part of our DNA. We were always the six of us. This was a chosen family that forever changed the course of who we were and what our path was going to be."

She recalled how much Perry loved making people laugh.

"As he said himself, if he didn't hear the 'laugh' he thought he was going to die. His life literally depended on it. And boy did he succeed in doing just that. He made all of us laugh. And laugh hard.

"In the last couple weeks, I've been pouring over our texts to one another. Laughing and crying then laughing again. I'll keep them forever and ever. I found one text that he sent me out of nowhere one day. It says it all.

"Matty, I love you so much and I know you are now completely at peace and out of any pain. I talk to you every day… sometimes I can almost hear you saying 'could you BE any crazier?'

"Rest little brother. You always made my day."

Lisa Kudrow.

Kudrow shared a photo of her and Perry at network NBC's Upfronts soon afterFriendswas picked up, and reflected on how they became quick friends.

"You suggested we play poker AND made it so much fun while we initially bonded. Thank you for that," she said.

"Thank you for making me laugh so hard at something you said, that my muscles ached, and tears poured down my face EVERY DAY. Thank you for your open heart in a six-way relationship that required compromise. And a lot of 'talking'. Thank you for showing up at work when you weren't well and then, being completely brilliant. Thank you for the best 10 years a person gets to have.

"Thank you for trusting me. Thank you for all I learned about GRACE and LOVE through knowing you. Thank you for the time I got to have with you, Matthew."

David Schwimmer.

Schwimmer shared an image of him and Perry as Ross and Chandler.

"Matty, thank you for ten incredible years of laughter and creativity," he began.

"I will never forget your impeccable comic timing and delivery. You could take a straight line of dialogue and bend it to your will, resulting in something so entirely original and unexpectedly funny it still astonishes.

"And you had heart. Which you were generous with, and shared with us, so we could create a family out of six strangers."

He said the photo was from one of his favourite moments with Perry.

"Now it makes me smile and grieve at the same time. I imagine you up there, somewhere, in the same white suit, hands in your pockets, looking around— 'Could there BE any more clouds?'"
