After Matthew Perry died on Oct 28th, the Friends cast released a public statement on People .com:
It's been three weeks and the cast has collectively, yet separately, spoken about their dear friend via Instagram.
I thought some of you may want to read what they wrote.

Matt LeBlanc was the first:
Then Courteney Cox:
David Schwimmer has said in the past that when the writers of Friends would have writers' meeting for episodes, Matthew was often the only cast member invited in to join them to tighten up some of the dialogue and add some funny lines, as only he could do.
Lisa Kudrow:
Jennifer Aniston:
Matthew said in his book and in an interview with Diane Sawyer that while the whole cast first suspected, then knew he had an alcohol problem, it was Jennifer Aniston who confronted him about it. From ET .com, "He told Sawyer that Aniston remained in close contact with him during those dark times. "She was the one that reached out the most," Perry said. "You know, I'm really grateful to her for that."
"We are all so utterly devastated by the loss of Matthew. We were more than just cast mates. We are a family," their statement reads. "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," the statement continues. "For now, our thoughts and our love are with Matty’s family, his friends, and everyone who loved him around the world."

They had already put out a joint statement that they weren't ready to talk and that there will be lots once they do come back. So, they could have taken more time if they had wanted to. Courteney even said above she has more moments to share later when she's ready.
