Tyler Perry's L.A. Home High-Tech Security Scares Off Burglars – The Blast

Tyler Perry is literally living in a safe haven, and he has technology to thank for it!

The director’s home security system reportedly kept him safe from the wandering hands of home burglars and masked intruders who attempted to invade his home.

Tyler Perry has an enviable real estate portfolio spanning hundreds of millions of dollars and splattered across various luxury neighborhoods in the United States.

The actor’s luxury home kept him safely tucked in when masked intruders attempted to disturb his peace and cart away his valuables.

Law enforcement confirmed that four intruders wearing masks and gloves infiltrated Perry’s Los Angeles-area property early Wednesday evening.

Perry’s 24-hour security team reportedly kept the group under close surveillance. The home’s thermal imaging camera system swiftly identified the intruders, prompting security guards to get the individuals off the property.

Inside sources close to the incident reported to TMZ that one of the intruders dropped a bag in a ravine next to Tyler’s home, which was later recovered.

Perry’s home intruders certainly did not come with the best intentions, judging from the content of their bag. The recovered bag reportedly contained tools often used by burglars, including crowbars, bolt cutters, screwdrivers, gloves, a hat, and a saw.

They also found a cell phone and other items commonly used in home intrusions. The actor’s security team called the LAPD to address the situation, but when the police arrived at the scene, the intruders were long gone.

The cops have taken a report for an attempted burglary, but no arrests have been made, and the investigation is ongoing. Sources close to Perry revealed that he was not home at the time and had left before all the commotion because of some media duties.

Perry’s house boasts a wide range of tasteful designs and modern aesthetics, including an Atlanta mega-mansion with an underground ballroom. There is also an extravagant film studio lot where Black Panther was shot and a luxe log cabin in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. 

The serial businessman has also bought and sold several luxury estates in Los Angeles. His Beverly Hills villa famously hosted Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at the start of the pandemic. The actor has, however, been super intentional in selecting the sites for his real estate venture.

Perry has seemingly developed a niche for choosing a number of properties that have ties to slavery and racial injustice as part of a steady but firm effort toward reclaiming these historical structures.

He is also a generous man who has donated millions to help the old and vulnerable in Atlanta at risk of losing their homes. In 2023, the actor contributed towards building a new home for Josephine Wright, a 93-year-old woman fighting to retain a property that had been in her family since the Civil War.

The scriptwriter extended his generosity to Brown after she lost her home. As reported by The Blast in February, the actress shared that she received a whopping sum of $400k from Perry.

Brown expressed her gratitude to the “Madea” creator for showing up in her trying time. She also extended her appreciation to everyone who donated to her cause.

The mother of one, fortunately, escaped the fire unharmed with her son and confessed to feeling a rollercoaster of emotions afterward.

Brown recalled the devastating feelings of loss as she watched her home burn down to ashes and stressed that her priority was ensuring her young son, Phoenix, was safe and sound.

While the actor holds the record for the most publicly known donation, other celebrities have donated handsomely to Brown’s GoFundMe page. 

Hollywood stars like Tiffany Haddish, Marlon Wayans, Byron Allen, Sherri Shepherd, and “The Breakfast Club” podcast team also doled huge sums to the cause.

The “Better Or Worse” actress declared that she and her son were touched by the outpouring of love they have received. She noted that the love and support overshadowed the pain of losing her home. In her esteemed words:

“Having each other, our fur babies, and seeing and feeling all this love has strengthened our love for each other and humanity.”

Tyler Perry will be around doing his great deeds for a very long time with his fortress of a home!
