Friends star looks sombre as she steps out after Matthew Perry's death

Helen Baxendale looked sombre as she stepped out for the first time since Matthew Perry 's death.

Helen played Ross' English girlfriend and then fiancée Emily Waltham in Friends alongside Matthew. Ahead of Emily's marriage to Ross, the cast made their way to London for a special set of episodes. In the episodes, Chandler Bing, Matthew's character, sleeps with Ross' sister Monica Geller, kickstarting their romance.

Helen looked downcast and pensive as she walked with her dog in Richmond, London. She checked her phone a few times.

Matthew Perry was found dead in his hot tub on Oct 28 by emergency responders. Law enforcement says 911 dispatched responders at around 4:00 p.m. PST due to a report of cardiac arrest.

When they arrived on the scene, they began water rescue protocol after Matthew had seemingly drowned. At the time, it was reported that there were no illegal drugs on the scene and cops did not suspect any foul play.

Now, his body has been released to his family, allowing them to begin their funeral plans. In a statement, the family wrote: "We are heartbroken by the tragic loss of our beloved son and brother. Matthew brought so much joy to the world, both as an actor and a friend. You all meant so much to him and we appreciate the tremendous outpouring of love."

Matthew's Friends co-stars have united in their grief to pay tribute to the star after his shock death. “We are all so utterly devastated by the loss of Matthew. We were more than just cast mates. We are a family,” the cast said in a joint statement to People Monday.

“There is so much to say, but right now we’re going to take a moment to grieve and process this unfathomable loss.

“In time we will say more, as and when we are able,” they continued. “For now, our thoughts and our love are with Matty’s family, his friends, and everyone who loved him around the world.”

The 54-year-old actor found fame alongside his five co-stars turned real-life Friends in the 1990s. And now Jennifer Aniston, Matt LeBlanc, Courteney Cox, David Schwimmer and Lisa Kudrow have joined up to share a tribute following the devastating news of Matthew's death.
