Matthew Perry’s former assistant and best friend, Briana Brancato, mourned the late actor days after he died from an apparent drowning.
Brancato took to Instagram Monday to remember the near decade she spent working alongside the “Friends” star.
“I’ve expressed my deepest gratitude to him on numerous occasions, not only for guiding me into a career I cherish but also for allowing me to take care of him for 7 years,” she wrote.
“Along [with] the countless other experiences I’m thankful for. From witnessing him in his genius to sharing in his worldly adventures living around the world, he took me on a remarkable journey.”
Brancato furthered that her “heart is heavy” but she is attempting to celebrate Perry’s life in “the most profound way” by keeping his memory alive.
“I hope that up there, in the great beyond, Mattman is sending us signs. We truly need them. You’ll forever be in my heart.
