Tyler Perry’s southwest Atlanta film studio experienced a massive fire that tore through a building on Tuesday night. Atlanta fire Captain Jolyon Bundridge said no one was injured, but the fire caused one building to partially collapse. Perry did not speak to reporters when he arrived at the studio on Tuesday night, according to CNN affiliate WSB-TV. The cause of the fire is currently unknown.
According to the studio’s website, Perry’s multi-million dollar studios sit on 60 acres of land and include five sound stages, a 5-acre pond, a theater, a chapel, a commissary, a gymnasium, Perry’s office, an art department where sets are designed, hair and makeup facilities, a wardrobe department, set decoration, a post-production facility, and a backlot named 34th Street, “as in Miracle on 34th Street.” In 2011, Perry topped Forbes’ “Entertainment’s Highest-Paid Men” list, bringing in $130 million in 12 months, starting in May 2010.
