Tyler Perry‘s sick to his stomach watching coverage of the L.A. fires … and, he finds insurance companies ability to cancel policies on a whim “appalling.”
The actor-producer posted to Instagram early Sunday morning … writing a video of a woman staying in a mandatory evacuation zone to try and save her parents’ home because their fire insurance was canceled rocked him to his core.
A local ER nurse was doing all she could to save her 90-year-old parents’ home in Hastings Ranch as the Eaton Fire ravaged the area.
She expressed frustration that her elderly parents’ insurance company had recently canceled their fire coverage. https://t.co/DTqXxl5YTe pic.twitter.com/CXEdTApVxe

Perry asks if anyone else finds 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?”
Perry — one of the most generous celebs around — adds he’s currently looking into what he can do to help the people of L.A. … so, expect a donation and maybe more to help with recovery efforts.
As you may know … insurance companies are under increased scrutiny as fire crews continue to fight the devastating wildfires consuming L.A. — especially State Farm, which canceled more than 70,000 home insurance policies last year.
This cancelation included more than 70% of the homes in the affluent Pacific Palisades area, according to the San Francisco Chronicle … an area which has been basically completely razed by the Pacific Palisades wildfire.
The fires have also led to concerns about an insurance crisis in CA … with fears insurance companies will no longer provide policies amid the increasing risk of wildfires.
Sounds like Tyler Perry is openly questioning the insurance system … and, many Californians will be doing the same in the coming months.
