Matthew Perry helped Kelly Osbourne with her addiction battle with kind act

Matthew Perry helped Kelly Osbourne with her own drug additction before his tragic death.
The beloved Friends actor’s ketamine overdose death was further examined in the new documentary, TMZ Investigates: Matthew Perry and the Secret Celebrity Drug Ring.
The documentary, which premiered on Fox September 16, comes nearly a month after five people, including two doctors, were charged in connection with the tragedy. 

Perry, who left behind a personal fortune exceeding $1.5million, died of the acute effects of ketamine, an anesthetic with psychedelic properties, as well factors including drowning, coronary artery disease and effects from buprenorphine, a drug used to treat opioid use disorder.
The much-loved Friends star, who was only 54 when he was found unresponsive in his Los Angeles home’s hot tub on Oct. 28, 2023, was on hand to help Ozzy Osbourne’s daughter during her struggles.
“He helped so many people,” said Kelly. “He helped me one day.
Kelly continued: “He could see that I was struggling and he walked up to me and he gave me a chip and it said, ‘This three minutes,” and he told me, ‘If you can get through three minutes, you can get through anything.’ That chip got me through that day which got me through the next day and I’ll never forget that.”

The TV host clarified: “So the rehab facility is faced with: ‘either give me the drugs or I’m going to leave and you’re going to lose your $100,000.'”
Kelly said they always get what they ask for, adding: “Doctors hold the key to the kingdom.”
Jack Ass star Brandon Novak said that “it’s as corrupt as you can imagine.”
TV personality Dr. Drew said we should not be “gratifying” the patients, and if doctors are he’s “concerned.”
He added that centers should be safe for the patients, not getting them drugs again.
Osbourne also explained a term called “body brokers.”
She explained: “They’ll sit outside of AA meetings looking for weak and vulnerable people that they encourage to go and relapse so they can then pick you up again.”
Speaking on whether or not she was shocked by Perry’s death, Kelly said: “It’s devastating, but at the same time, he was an addict. You can’t be shocked when an addicts passes away.”
She added that addicts end up in either three places: jail, rehad or death.

The doc featured interviews with Botched star Dr. Terry Dubrow and a former DEA agent, Bill Bodner, who explained the role doctors can sometimes play in drug-related deaths.
“When there’s money to be made, or when there’s the potential lure of celebrity, that’s what’s causing this diversion outside of ethical bounds,” Bodner said.

The Los Angeles Police Department began an investigation into Perry’s death in May 2024.
On August 15, charges involving the distribution of the ketamine that caused Perry’s death were filed against five people. 
Three defendants, Dr. Mark Chavez, one of two doctors charged in connection with Perry’s death; Kenneth Imawasa, Perry’s live-in assistant; and Erik Fleming, an acquaintance of Perry’s who coordinated the sale of drugs to him, have since either pleaded guilty or agreed to plead guilty to charges.
