David Schwimmer was spotted leaving his apartment Monday, two days after the death of his “Friends” co-star Matthew Perry.

Schwimmer, 56, who played Ross on the long-running NBC sitcom, wore a baseball cap and a medical mask that concealed most of his face as he left his Manhattan home. 

A day earlier, while accepting a food delivery order, the actor flashed a peace sign to photographers outside. 

After that, he left the abode with his ex-wife Zoë Buckman and their daughter, Cleo.

None of Perry’s “Friends” co-stars — which include Schwimmer, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, and Lisa Kudrow — have spoken publicly about Perry’s death, but sources told Page Six the cast is preparing a joint statement.

“The cast is reeling from the loss of their brother because that’s what Matty was — their brother,” a source said.

Last year, Perry told “Access Hollywood” that he missed his castmates.

“We don’t see each other as much,” the actor said at GQ’s Men of the Year party. “I wish the group would see each other more.”

The group, however, did reunite for an HBO Max special in 2021.

Perry, who was 54, died Saturday of an apparent drowning in the hot tub of his home in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. 

“We are heartbroken by the tragic loss of our beloved son and brother,” Perry’s family said in a statement to People. “Matthew brought so much joy to the world, both as an actor and a friend.”
