Looks like Tyler Perry isn't feeling what's going on in LA with the wildfires. He opened up recently about his thoughts on how the insurance companies for their role in this horrific situation.

Tyler Perry Calls Out Southern California Insurance Companies

The actor and producer shared a post on Instagram on Sunday, January 12, about what he witnessed while helping those in LA. Perry posted, "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," Perry wrote. "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? People who have paid premiums all of their lives are left with nothing because of pure greed," he added. "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."

Many Los Angeles residents, including celebrities, have taken to social media to express their concerns about this wildfire situation. People like the Kardashians, Tyler Perry, models, and local residents have spoken about the tragedies.

The Los Angeles Times reported that the insurance companies did cancel many policies right before the wildfires began. The report stated that many insurers including State Farm General announced it would not be renewing thousands of home insurance policies in Pacific Palisades, Altadena, and other areas in 2024.

The wildfires began on January 7, 2025, and since then has burned more than 23,000 acres in the Los Angeles area. Additional areas throughout different parts of Southern California have also sparked since concern for many residents potentially losing everything.
