*Tyler Perry is reportedly helping actress and comedian Cocoa Brown buy a new home after her Georgia residence was destroyed in a fire.
TMZ reports that the Hollywood media mogul offered Brown $400,000 for a new home.
Sources tell TMZ … “Cocoa believes a lit candle may have fallen into some clothes in the house — and by the time the fire alarm went off … CB ran to the room, but it was quickly becoming an inferno,” the outlet writes.
Brown lived at home with her 12-year-old son, Phoenix. Before the property was engulfed in flames, Cocoa and her child escaped the fire.
Brown launched a GoFundMe to raise funds for “resources such as shelter, clothing, and other necessities as Cocoa and Phoenix work to rebuild their lives,” the campaign states.

Cocoa’s loved ones also noted, “Beyond monetary donations, offering words of encouragement and emotional support can make a significant impact during this challenging time.”
The page concluded: “Let’s come together as a community to show Cocoa Brown and Phoenix that they are not alone. Together, we can help them find light in the midst of darkness and pave the way for a brighter future.”
