Tyler Perry pays funeral expenses for 8-year-old girl shot in Atlanta - Fox News

Tyler Perry has offered financial help to a family during a hard time.

The actor, 50, is paying for the funeral expenses for an 8-year-old girl who was fatally shot in Atlanta over the weekend, a representative for the filmmaker confirmed Wednesday.

“I’m outraged today because I’d rather be paying for 8-year-old Secoriea Turner’s college than her funeral," Perry said in a statement to People magazine.

When the driver tried to go around the roadblock, shots were fired and the girl was hit, Malecki told reporters at a news conference Tuesday.

Malecki said the video comes from a surveillance camera near where Secoriea was shot.
