Courteney Cox opens up about her experience since Matthew Perry's demise

Friends star Courteney Cox feels Matthew Perry is still around.

Courteney went on to share how she still senses her late costar's presence even after his demise. "He visits me a lot, if we believe in that," she added.

Courteney, 59, also likened this sensation to the closeness she feels with her family, suggesting that Perry's spirit serves as a guiding presence in her life. "I talk to my mom, my dad, Matthew," Courteney revealed.

She also reflected on the enduring impact of Perry's presence.
