LeBlanc's personal tribute comes after he issued a joint statement with the cast of "Friends," including his co-stars Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow and David Schwimmer, honoring Perry on Oct. 30.

"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 continued. "For now, our thoughts and our love are with Matty's family, his friends, and everyone who loved him around the world."
