Perry died on Oct. 28, 2023, at age 54. An autopsy report obtained by PEOPLE in December 2023 said the Fools Rush In actor — who was best known for his TV role on Friends as Chandler Bing — died of acute effects from ketamine.

"We are heartbroken by the tragic loss of our beloved son and brother," Perry’s family told PEOPLE in a statement after his death. They added, "Matthew brought so much joy to the world, both as an actor and a friend. You all meant so much to him and we appreciate the tremendous outpouring of love."

O'Neal died on Dec. 8, 2023. The 82-year-old, who was Oscar-nominated for his role in the 1970 romance Love Story, had been diagnosed with chronic leukemia in 2001 and with prostate cancer in 2012.

The actor's son Patrick O'Neal wrote in an Instagram tribute at the time that his father, "passed away peacefully today, with his loving team by his side supporting him and loving him as he would us."

Rivera, a Tony-winning actress and singer with more than seven decades of credits on Broadway, died at age 91 on Jan. 30, following a brief illness.

"It is with immense personal sorrow that I announce the death of the beloved Broadway icon Chita Rivera," her rep Merle Frimark said in a statement of his longtime "dear friend."

Rivera's Broadway career dates back to 1950, and includes two and a half dozen roles in shows such as Guys and Dolls, Merlin, Can-Can, Kiss of the Spider Woman and the role of Anita in West Side Story.

She also originated the role of murderess Velma Kelly in Chicago on Broadway in 1975 — and for the show's 25-year anniversary, she played lead Roxie Hart in Las Vegas, London and Toronto. She also had a cameo in the 2002 film adaptation, which won Best Picture at the 2003 Oscars.
