Back in July movie mogul Tyler Perry vowed to help a 93-year-old South Carolina woman who was being harassed by land developers trying to force her into selling her property [click here if you missed that].
Now Tyler is building her a new house...
From TMZ
Tyler Perry is coming to the aid of a 93-year-old woman at risk of losing the South Carolina home her family has owned since the Civil War era ... by buying her a new home.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … the actor/filmmaker is building Josephine Wright a 5-bedroom home in South Carolina to replace the one she's living in with her grandkids, which is also at the center of a bitter land dispute.
We're told Tyler's construction crew will break ground on the home in the coming weeks, once all the permits are squared away.
As we reported ... Tyler pledged his support to Josephine back in July, when he caught wind of her legal war with the Bailey Point Investment Group. Bailey Point reportedly wants to buy Wright's land in Hilton Head, but she doesn't want to give it up because it's been in her family for generations ... BP then filed suit to seize control of her property.
Wright told news outlet, WSAV-TV, how BP got approval from the town to develop 29 acres of land behind her home ... and says she turned down an offer to buy her home. Once Wright declined, she claimed BP started harassing her, leading to a lawsuit to rip away the property she says has been in her family since the Civil War era.
One of Josephine's grandkids organized a GoFundMe to help pay for her legal fees ... and a September update on the page says a tree fell on the home and opened 2 holes in the roof.
Now, Josephine's getting a new place altogether ... courtesy of Tyler.

Nice gesture but she's 93. They better build it fast.
11:22Am..😩ðŸ˜ðŸ¤£ðŸ˜‚ see you play too much. Got me rolling dis morn-ting.
Yep I'm sure he's building it for the grandkids cause she will not be able to enjoy this house.
Good job, Tyler Perry! No matter what opinions folks have about Tyler portraying a woman, as you can see sometimes the end justifies the means. Wealthy black folks reaching back and helping causes important to US is what it's all about.
Good for her.
Great job Tyler
They better be building the new home on her land & this bet not be no back door deal (no pun intended mr. Perry) to confiscate her land. Pink people always being slick! They went to a whole nutha galaxy on a whole nutha planet on Avatar & tried to take their land. Can we hit the fast forward button on the “End Times”! I’m ready to see what’s going to happen to them!
2:39, Nothing will happen to these “pink people.” By the time your “end of times” gets here, anyone left on this planet will look like Bruno Mars.
I’m loving Tyler for doing it!
