The 69-year-old actress - who played the parent of Perry’s Chandler Bing on Friends - tells PEOPLE that she is “very sad for Matthew” after learning that he was found dead at age 54 in his Los Angeles home on Saturday.
“He came to see one of my Broadway shows and he came backstage,” Turner reveals. “When he saw me, he yelled out, ‘Hey dad’ and everyone thought it was pretty cool. I think it was for Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf.”
Though the last time Turner, 69, saw Perry was "at least 10 years [ago] at some event, his personality has stuck with her. "I liked him," she says. "He had a good sense of humor and a good heart. he liked other people, which, to me, is terribly important, especially for an actor."
“It’s extremely sad when you think about how young [he was] and a pity he couldn’t get more control.” Referring to the Friends cast, she adds, “I can’t imagine the pressure those guys lived under being a worldwide phenomenon. It must have been overwhelming.”

What a talent! He was so naturally hilarious & real in his performances, he felt like someone you had known all your life & really cared about. Someone who really WAS an actual friend. I never met him, but I'll always be grateful for that, Matthew.🙏❤️ pic.twitter.com/tH0IhxejFt

Still processing Matthew Perry’s death at 54. Damn. My condolences to his loved ones. I spent a lot of time with Matthew at a formative period for both of us when we were kids growing up in Ottawa. Even then he was a talented, charismatic, funny, sarcastic
& complicated guy.

Matthew Perry’s passing is shocking and saddening. I’ll never forget the schoolyard games we used to play, and I know people around the world are never going to forget the joy he brought them. Thanks for all the laughs, Matthew. You were loved - and you will be missed.
