Matt LeBlanc finally spoke out and paid a heartfelt homage to his close friend and ‘brother,’ Matthew Perry.

With a moving message on Instagram, LeBlanc, who is 56 years old, paid tribute to his on-screen roommate and best buddy.

‘It is with a heavy heart I say goodbye. The times we had together are honestly among the favorite times of my life,’

LeBlanc wrote alongside a carousel of throwback photos from the friends’ time on the set of the hit NBC sitcom.

‘It was an honor to share the stage with you and to call you my friend. I will always smile when I think of you and I’ll never forget you. Never.’

‘Spread your wings and fly brother you’re finally free. Much love,’ he continued. ‘And I guess you’re keeping the 20 bucks you owe me,’ LeBlanc joked.

Last month, Perry’s body was discovered at his Los Angeles home. Fans from all across the world paid tribute to him upon his passing.

The Friends cast issued a statement together following his passing.

‘The loss of Matthew has hurt us all so much. We were not just coworkers on the show. We are a household. The statement said,

‘There is so much to say, but for now we’re going to take some time to grieve and comprehend this unbelievable loss.

We will provide additional information later, as we are able. Our hearts and prayers are with Matty’s friends, family, and all of the people who loved him, for the time being.
