"He was happy — that’s all I know. I was literally texting with him that morning, funny Matty. He was not in pain. He wasn’t struggling. He was happy," Aniston said, emphasizing that "I want people to know he was really healthy, and getting healthy. He was on a pursuit. He worked so hard. He really was dealt a tough one."
Ultimately, the actress said "I miss him dearly. We all do. Boy, he made us laugh really hard." And that the tributes to Perry from around the world are "so beautiful. I hope he can know that he was loved in a way he never thought he was."
