Perry was previously the dog father of a cartoon mix named Alfred, who he shared with ex Molly Hurwitz. The couple started dating in 2018 and got engaged in November 2020 before splitting in June 2021.
Since their split, Alfred has been a regular on Hurwitz’s Instagram. In a post in September, she opened up about her close relationship with the dog along with a series of photos.
“Alfred is three years old. He’s really annoying a lot of the time, but he really is the kindest potato. He came into my life during some dark depression and helped me get away from it. He’s also as cute as the fuck. Cheers to you, Alfredo 💕 #adoptdontshop,” she wrote.

They were understanding and patient, Perry said. “It’s like penguins. In nature, when one is sick or badly injured, other penguins surround it, support it and walk around until that penguin starts walking on its own. And that’s something the cast did for me.”
Perry’s death was confirmed in an exclusive statement shared with PEOPLE by the late actor’s family. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed to PEOPLE on Sunday that an autopsy has been completed and the results are pending a toxicology report.
