Courteney Cox was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Tuesday.

The actress was joined by her daughter, Coco, her partner, Johnny McDaid, and friends Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow and Laura Dern, among others, at the dedication ceremony.

Aniston and Kudrow took the podium together to speak about Cox's accomplishments and impact on their lives.

"To be friends with Courteney is to be family with Courteney," Aniston said.

"She instilled into all of us, into our DNA, to support each other and to love one another -- and that actors need to support and love one another, not compete with one another," she continued, speaking about Cox's impact on the "Friends" set. "And those wise words have stayed with me."

"I really believe that it was that -- Courteney doing that -- that really set us up to become one of the closest, most loving and supportive casts in, I'll say, the history of television," Kudrow said.

"If you're lucky enough to know her, you learn that she can't help herself -- she has to be honest about who she is, about how she sees the world, and frankly about what she sees in us," Dern said.

She went on to say that Cox brings "grace, radical humor, incredible bravery and her best self to every moment."

Cox's star is the 2,750th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
