Tyler Perry hits out at “appalling” insurance companies’ “pure greed” amid LA wildfires destruction
LA wildfires.The fires, which started in the Palisades area of Los Angeles in California on January 7, have destroyed thousands of buildings and left many more without power, and at least 25 people have died.Perry took to social media to share his outrage. He wrote: “Watching a daughter use a garden hose to try and protect her 90-year-old parents’ home because their insurance was canceled was just gut-wrenching to me.“Does anyone else find it appalling that insurance companies can take billions of dollars out of communities for years and then, all of a sudden, be allowed to cancel millions of policies for the very people they became rich on?”A post shared by Tyler Perry (@tylerperry)He continued: “People who have paid premiums all of their lives are left with nothing because of pure greed.“As I am in the process of trying to figure out what steps to take to do all I can to help as many as I can, I am keeping everyone in my prayers.”The post came after a piece was published by the Los Angeles Times, reporting that some home insurance companies (including State Farm General, the largest in California) decided not to renew thousands of policies last year in some of the neighbourhoods that have been affected by the wildfires.

“Life’s Fragile Moments.”“My lovely dermatologist [was] the one who caught and operated on my mole skin cancer a few years ago, and literally saved my life,” he wrote as the caption of the post, which included several black-and-white photos before and after the operation.“Anyway, after having just finished GMA, I received a message from Dr Tess, with some urgency to return to Los Angeles, as I had two locations on my skin, shoulder and forearm, one of which was melanoma, that should be operated on asap!!” Lennon explained.“So instead of going home to put my Christmas tree up and happily finish the year off, relaxing at home, I flew directly back to Los Angeles, after all my work in New York was done, and went directly from LAX airport, to surgery.”Lennon shared that the operation was successful; however, he’s unsure if the biopsy results will arrive before Christmas.He thanked his doctors “for being able to coordinate this surgery at such short notice, but for once again, hopefully saving my life.”“One can never be too confident in circumstances like this, but we all believe that Dr Tim has saved the day… So fingers crossed for now.”Lennon encouraged his followers to get checked out.“It only takes a short while to do so, and you may just be saving your own life, at the end of the day,” he said, “so please, for the sake of yourself, your family and friends just go to your [doctor] and do what must be done,” he wrote.“I love life and I want to live for a very long time and this is one way, and a choice, that could determine your future.”In 2020, Lennon revealed he had a mole on his head removed after a biopsy showed it was cancerous.Earlier this week, photos circulated of Lennon and his brother, Sean, 49, hanging out at

The man’s wife is also suing West for loss of consortium.At the time of the alleged incident, West was investigated by the Los Angeles Police Department in connection with an altercation, but no charges were filed.Less than a week later, West gave an interview with Hollywood Unlocked about the investigation, in which he stated: “I just finished these two songs, I came from the studio, and this dude, he just had this real attitude, like, ‘’What you gonna do? And see that?’”“Imma just tell you, that blue COVID mask ain’t stop that knockout, you know what I’m saying?”In other Kanye news, it is expected that Ye and Ty Dolla $ign‘s collaborative album ‘Vultures’ will be released at some point this month, after a series of delays and missed release dates.
