Somber Courteney Cox seen for first time since Matthew Perry’s death

Courteney Cox is leaning on longtime partner Johnny McDaid following the unexpected death of her longtime pal and “Friends” co-star Matthew Perry.

The “Cougar Town” alum was spotted for the first time since the tragic news leaving Nobu Malibu Monday night with the Snow Patrol frontman.

Cox got into the driver’s seat of the car while McDaid opted for the passenger seat.

The “Scream” star, 59, looked somber as she pulled out of the parking lot and drove off to their next destination.

Cox’s sighting comes after fellow “Friends” star David Schwimmer was seen keeping a low profile in New York City.

Perry was found dead at his California home last Saturday after an apparent drowning. He was 54.

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner completed the “Fools Rush In” star’s autopsy Sunday, but his cause of death was deferred pending toxicology results.

Initial tests concluded that Perry had neither meth nor fentanyl in his system at the time of his death, according to TMZ.

Illegal drugs were not found on the premises, the website added; however, it alleged that prescription drugs were on site, including anti-depressants, anti-anxiety drugs and a medication for COPD, a lung disease caused by smoking.
