In New York City, fans have been stopping by the iconic "Friends" building in the West Village and leaving flowers, and tributes were growing all over Manhattan.
Perry was best known for playing "Chandler Bing" on the hit sitcom. He was once nominated for an Emmy. The character was a favorite for many fans, known for his quick wit and sarcasm.
"Chandler was so funny," said Esha Dara, who was visiting from Florida.
"A lot of people in our group were actually crying. Everyone was too emotional and we actually felt the goosebumps," added Ashwin Saxene, who was also visiting from Florida.

Many said they felt compelled to visit The Friends Experience on East 23rd Street to remember Perry.
"It's just not going to be the same with him in this world," said Nicky Carlo of Mott Haven.
"I just hope he knows that he was loved and he gave millions laughs," Williams Jinorio added.
There is a growing memorial of flowers and notes in the West Village. Exteriors of the apartment building were shown on "Friends," even though the show was filmed in Los Angeles.
Someone wrote a letter entitled "The one where we lost a friend."
"For me, it's like I've lost an old friend," said Genney Lambyn, who was visiting from France.
"It bring back a lot of memories," added Charlie Zeidan, also from France.

Perry touched lives beyond "Friends," opening up last year about his battles with drug and alcohol addiction.
"I want to drink all the time because that's when I feel good and normal. But then the drink turns on you and says, 'Well, now I'm going to kill you,'" Perry once said.
"When he spoke about it, it just made everybody feel like we're not alone," said Eve Goldberg, founder of Big Vision Community NYC.
Goldberg lost her son, 23-year-old Isaac, a decade ago to an accidental drug overdose. She read Perry's memoir, "Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing." She founded a nonprofit that supports young adults struggling with addictions and living in recovery.
"Everybody also felt like, 'OK, I can get through this. I can survive it also,'" Goldberg said.
Perry also starred in and executive produced CBS' revival of "The Odd Couple."
His family told People magazine they are heartbroken, saying, "Matthew brought so much joy to the world."
