Matthew Perry’s ex-girlfriend has urged the 2024 Academy Awards to pay tribute to the late Hollywood actor as part of the In Memorium section.

Kayti Edwards, who dated him in 2006 and worked as his assistant in 2011, said it was “his dream to be recognized” after he was left out of the BAFTAs last month.

Matthew was found face down in the hot tub of his Los Angeles home on October 28 last year at the age of 54, and an autopsy confirmed he died from the “acute effects of ketamine” and drowning.

In February, fans were outraged when he was left off the memoir shortlist at the 77th EE British Academy Film Awards when they paid tribute to a host of other actors.

speaking to MirrorKayti said, “I know it would mean a lot to him to be honored at the Oscars in some way.”

Kayti Edwards, who dated him in 2006 and worked as his assistant in 2011, said it was “his dream to be recognized” after he was left out of the BAFTAs last month.

She continued: ‘I remember having a conversation with him about how it was always his dream to be recognized and not just by Friends.

“He was always aware of the sad reality that Friends got tons of awards… but personally, I don’t think it got any.”

Despite his illustrious career in Hollywood after finding fame as Chandler Bing on the NBC comedy, he was not included in the tribute at the annual BAFTA awards ceremony.

Following her rise to fame in the 1990s comedy alongside Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, David Schwimmer, Lisa Kudrow and Matt LeBlanc, she starred in a number of films, including The Kid with Bruce Willis and Fools Rush In with Salma Hayek, as well as The Whole. Nine yards and birds of America.

In 2009, she starred alongside Zac Efron in 17 Again, in what became her final film appearance.

Viewers were left furious at the lack of mention, with one fuming: “I love the BAFTAs, don’t you?” I watch it religiously every year.

A spokesperson later confirmed that Matthew would be remembered during May’s TV awards for his signature role.

A spokesperson said: “I can confirm he will be remembered at our next Television Awards.”

In December, the medical examiner’s report revealed that he died from the “acute effects of ketamine” and drowning, having similar amounts of ketamine in his system as a hospital patient under general anesthesia.

Kayti has since demanded police reopen the investigation into his death amid fears that “dishonest” medical staff administered drugs to him as she did not believe he bought ketamine on the street.

The medical examiner reported that Perry had been sober for 19 months and that there were no traces of heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine or fentanyl in his system.

Perry had been receiving ketamine infusion therapy for depression. But her last session was a week and a half before she died, meaning it didn’t directly cause her death.

Edwards said he felt the ketamine treatment would have pushed him back into drug use beyond the doctor’s office.
