"Thank you for the laughter you brought to the show and to all of our lives," Aniston continued.

"You will be so missed #JamesMichaelTyler" The scene she shared, came from the series finale, in which Gunther, the manager of the Central Perk coffee shop where the eponymous friends frequented, finally confesses his long-held secret love for Rachel in the culmination on a long-running gag throughout several seasons of the series, reports etonline.com.

Cox also paid tribute to Tyler, sharing a photo of him from the set and a message honouring his memory.

She wrote: "James Michael Tyler, we will miss you. Thank you for being there for us all. #jamesmichealtyler." Tyler was first diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2018, and went on the Today show this past June to open up about his diagnosis and to encourage others to get tested as early and regularly as possible.

He is survived by his wife, Jennifer Carno, whom he wed in 2017.
