Courteney Cox has paid tribute to her Friends co-star Matthew Perry, one year after his death.

On Instagram, Cox shared a photo of her and Perry looking and each other and smiling, alongside another of the entire Friends cast and wrote: "Missing you today and always," along with a heart emoji.

Cox also tagged The Matthew Perry Foundation in her post. The charity was established in the actor's honour following his death, continuing Perry's "enduring commitment to helping others struggling with the disease of addiction".

Perry died at his home at the age of 54 last October, with an autopsy report confirming his death was an "accident" caused by the "acute effects of ketamine".

The post-mortem examination confirmed a number of contributing factors to his death included drowning, coronary artery disease and the effects of buprenorphine (a drug used to treat opioid use disorder).

Friends streams on Netflix in the UK, where it also airs daily on Comedy Central. In the US, you can stream the show on Max.
