A day after actor Matthew Perry breathed his last at the age of 54, his family released a statement mourning the 'Friends' star. Speaking exclusively with People, Perry's family members expressed grief over his untimely demise. "We are heartbroken by the tragic loss of our beloved son and brother.

Perry was found dead at a Los Angeles home in a jacuzzi. No foul play was suspected in connection with the death. He was raised by his father, John Bennett Perry, mother, Suzanne Morrison, and stepfather, Dateline journalist Keith Morrison. Perry, who has five siblings from his parents' later marriages, grew up in Ottawa, Canada, with his mother before moving to California to live with his father as a teenager.
