Chandler Bing has been memorialized in lights.
A family has posted a tribute to late “Friends” star Matthew Perry, in the form of Christmas lights.
As shown in an Instagram reel, a house decked out in Christmas lights and crosses also has a projection of various scenes from “Friends” playing near the roof of the house, along with a screen on the side of the house that says “RIP Matthew Perry.”
The instagram caption reads, “The one where we lose a friend. This one hurts, RIP Matthew Perry.”
The house is located in Garden City, Michigan, and decorated by couple Christina and Kyle Bostick, 35 and 36.
“My wife and I grew up in the 90’s watching ‘Friends.’ It has been one of our favorite shows to rewatch and we’re deeply saddened to hear the news,” Kyle told The Post.
“We had a light show display set up for Halloween but wanted to somehow use it to create a tribute. So I found a bunch of clips of Mr. Perry over the years and created a custom video montage to play on a projector, through a rainbow cloud like pattern over the display and programmed the spotlights to highlight some of the high points of the theme song from ‘Friends,’” he explained. “After posting it we received countless comments thanking us for doing it. We are happy we can bring some smiles to people’s faces during difficult times like these.”
Perry, most famous for starring as Chandler Bing on the NBC sitcom for a decade, died of an apparent drowning on Oct. 28. He was 54.
His “Friends” co-stars, who released a joint statement two days after his passing, have recently posted individual tributes via their respective social media accounts.
“Thank you for ten incredible years of laughter and creativity,” David Schwimmer, 57, posted on Wednesday.
“I will never forget your impeccable comic timing and delivery. You could take a straight line of dialogue and bend it to your will, resulting in something so entirely original and unexpectedly funny it still astonishes. And you had heart. Which you were generous with, and shared with us, so we could create a family out of six strangers.”
Courteney Cox, 59, wrote about her on-screen husband, “I am so grateful for every moment I had with you Matty and I miss you every day. When you work with someone as closely as I did with Matthew, there are thousands of moments I wish I could share.”
Matt Le Blanc, 56, posted several photos of Chandler and Joey together, and wrote, “It is with a heavy heart I say goodbye. The times we had together are honestly among the favorite times of my life. It was an honor to share the stage with you and to call you my friend. I will always smile when I think of you and I’ll never forget you. Never.”
Jennifer Aniston, 54, for her part, posted a photo on Wednesday of herself smiling with Perry, and one of their text exchanges.
“Having to say goodbye to our Matty has been an insane wave of emotions that I’ve never experienced before,” she wrote.
“He was such a part of our DNA. We were always the 6 of us. This was a chosen family that forever changed the course of who we were and what our path was going to be.”
She went on: “For Matty, he KNEW he loved to make people laugh. As he said himself, if he didn’t hear the ‘laugh’ he thought he was going to die. His life literally depended on it. And boy did he succeed in doing just that. He made all of us laugh. And laugh hard. In the last couple weeks, I’ve been pouring over our texts to one another. Laughing and crying then laughing again. I’ll keep them forever and ever.”
Lisa Kudrow, meanwhile, thanked Perry “for the best 10 years a person gets to have.”
“Thank you for trusting me. Thank you for all I learned about GRACE and LOVE through knowing you,” she wrote.
The Christmas lights Instagram account (and TikTok and YouTube pages) called “Bostick Family Light Show” posts various light shows for a range of holidays, including Halloween, Christmas, Valentine’s Day and 4th of July, and also features tutorials.
