The creators of “Friends” are speaking out about the death of Matthew Perry. Marta Kauffman says she spoke with Perry two weeks ago and they had a delightful chat. “It was great. He was happy, and chipper,” she told Hoda Kotb in an interview with co-creator David Crane that aired Nov. 1 on TODAY. “He didn’t seem weighed down by anything. He was in a really good place, which is why this seems so unfair.
” The “Friends” cast released a statement reacting to Perry’s death. “We’re so utterly devastated by the loss of Matthew,” they said. “We’re more than just castmates, we’re family. There’s so much to say, but now we’re gonna take a moment to grieve and process this unfathomable loss.” Crane agrees with the notion that the “Friends” cast and creators were indeed a family. “Oh, absolutely,” he said.
