Filmmaker, Tyler Perry is a man with a heart of gold as he continues to lend a helping hand to those around him. It has been gathered that he bought a  home in Atlanta to the mother of a former colleague.

It is learnt that he bought the $350,000 house for Bettie Pace, the ailing mother of LaShun Pace, a gospel singer and actress who worked alongside Perry in a play in 1999.

When the “Madea” star learned Bettie Pace was sick and her dying wish was to own a home for her family, he made her dreams come true.

LaShun Pace revealed that Tyler Perry made the kind gesture in a two-minute video clip. LaShun Pace who has the hit song, “There’s A Leak In This Old Building,” is seen surrounded by cheering loved ones as she thanked Perry before cutting a big red ribbon attached to the front of the home.

“Tyler Perry, thank you son,” she said. “Thank you for the house. God bless you.”

“Now you see what happens when you just live right and become Tyler Perry’s friend,” LaShun Pace gushed at the end of the recording.

It should be recalled that this is not the first time Perry has been generous as he has in times past offered “Cosby Show” alum Geoffrey Owens a role on one of his shows after he was “job shamed” for working at Trader Joe’s. He also bought actress, Tiffany Haddish a car.
