Family members of late actor Matthew Perry are speaking out on the first anniversary of his death.
“Today” co-host Savannah Guthrie had a conversation with Perry’s mother, Suzanne Perry, stepdad Keith Morrison, and sisters Emily, Caitlin, and Madeleine Morrison.
“[To light up a room is] something you’re born with or you’re not born with. And he was certainly born with it in spades,” Keith, who is a “Dateline NBC” host, said of Perry.
“But it must be said, I think, that he was also very lonely in his soul,” Perry’s mom Suzanne added. “I’m a very lucky woman, but there was one glitch. There was one problem that I couldn’t conquer,” Suzanne continued. “I couldn’t help him.”
“You’ve got to stop blaming yourself because it tears you up,” the grieving mom said.
The “Friends” star died on October 28, 2023, at the age of 54. The medical examiner ruled that Perry died from a ketamine overdose. His cause of death was listed as accidental drowning.
