Tyler Perry has expressed outrage and heartbreak over the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles, particularly as he learns about insurance companies canceling fire coverage for vulnerable homeowners. In an Instagram post, Perry shared his reaction to a local story of an ER nurse trying to save her 90-year-old parents’ home in Hastings Ranch after their fire insurance was recently canceled. He called the ability of insurance companies to drop policies after profiting from years of premiums “appalling.”
Perry’s criticism comes amid mounting scrutiny on insurers like State Farm, which reportedly canceled over 70,000 home insurance policies in California last year. Notably, more than 70% of homes in the fire-ravaged Pacific Palisades lost coverage.
As wildfires continue to wreak havoc, the insurance industry is facing a potential crisis in California, with many residents worried about the long-term impact on their ability to secure coverage. Perry, known for his philanthropy, hinted at plans to support recovery efforts in L.A., potentially through donations or other forms of assistance.
His message underscores growing concerns about fairness and accountability in the insurance sector, particularly as climate change heightens the risk of natural disasters.
