Perry was previously a dog dad to a doodle mix named Alfred, whom he shared with ex Molly Hurwitz. The pair began dating in 2018 and got engaged in November 2020 before calling it quits in June 2021.

Since their split, Alfred has been a regular staple on Hurwitz's Instagram. In a post in September, she opened up about her close connection to the pooch alongside a series of photos.

"Alfred is three. He is very annoying a lot of the time, but he is truly the most loving potato. He entered my life during some dark depression, and he helped get me far away from that. He is also cute as all fuck. Cheers to you, Alfredo 💕 #adoptdontshop" she wrote.

On Monday, Hurwitz reflected on their time together by sharing in a lengthy Instagram tribute that no has had "a more profound impact" on her adult life than Perry.

Kudrow, 60, and her fellow Friends cast members — Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, and David Schwimmer — spoke out about Perry's death in a joint statement exclusively obtained by PEOPLE.

"We are all so utterly devastated by the loss of Matthew. We were more than just cast mates. We are a family," their statement read. "There is so much to say, but right now we’re going to take a moment to grieve and process this unfathomable loss."

"In time we will say more, as and when we are able," the statement continues. "For now, our thoughts and our love are with Matty’s family, his friends, and everyone who loved him around the world."

Perry opened up about the close bond among the Friends actors, noting how they supported him amid his struggles with substance abuse in a PEOPLE cover story interview in October 2022.

"They were understanding, and they were patient," Perry said. "It's like penguins. In nature, when one is sick or very injured, the other penguins surround it and prop it up and walk around until that penguin can walk on its own. And that's kind of what the cast did for me."

Perry's death was confirmed in an exclusive statement shared with PEOPLE from the late actor's family. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office confirmed to PEOPLE on Sunday that an autopsy has been completed, and results are pending a toxicology report.
