‘Struggling’ Jennifer Aniston reportedly arrived first, kept ‘to herself’ at Matthew Perry’s funeral
Jennifer Aniston was reportedly one of the first people at the site of Matthew Perry’s funeral last week to pay her respects.
The actress, 54, arrived at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Los Angeles’ Hollywood Hills neighborhood on Nov. 3 with her security guards in tow, Page Six previously reported.
She then congregated with her “Friends” co-stars Courteney Cox, David Schwimmer and Lisa Kudrow outside the venue so that they could walk in together, per aerial paparazzi shots we obtained. Matt LeBlanc joined them later.
The actors were dressed in all black and appeared solemn as they made their way up to the cemetery, where Perry’s relatives, including mom Suzanne Perry, dad John Bennett Perry and stepfather Keith Morrison were also present.
Once inside, Aniston “kept herself to herself,” a source told the Daily Mail the following day.
Page Six has reached out to her reps for comment but did not immediately hear back.
Sources recently gave us insight into how the “The Morning Show” star is dealing with the passing of her longtime friend and colleague.
“Out of the remaining five, Jen and Courteney are reeling the most, and Jen is probably the one who is struggling most acutely,” an insider said.
“It’s a second massive loss in less than a year, with the one-year anniversary of her dad’s death just around the corner.”
The source added that the loss of Perry has allegedly “completely knocked her off her feet.”
Aniston was very close with the “Fools Rush In” star and he even credited her for reaching out “the most” out of the rest of their castmates during his substance abuse struggles.
A resurfaced interview of Aniston from 2004 also showed the “Murder Mystery” star breaking down into tears over the “idea of losing” Perry.
“He struggled and we didn’t know,” she said during an interview with Diane Sawyer. “We weren’t equipped to deal with it. Nobody had ever dealt with that.”
Perry was found dead from an apparent drowning after reportedly going into cardiac arrest at his home in Los Angeles on Oct. 28. He was 54.

Preliminary toxicology reports showed the “Whole Nine Yards” star did not have fentanyl or meth in his body at the time of his death. His full autopsy report results have been delayed pending additional testing.
Aniston, along with Cox, 59, Kudrow, 60, Schwimmer, 57, and LeBlanc, 56, said in a joint statement following Perry’s death that they were “devastated.”
“There is so much to say, but right now we’re going to take a moment to grieve and process this unfathomable loss,” they added.
“In time we will say more, as and when we are able. For now, our thoughts and our love are with Matty’s family, his friends, and everyone who loved him around the world.”
