Tyler Perry celebrating turning 45 with a star-studded celebration that he's telling fans about after the fact.
The celebration included a concert featuring numerous performers.
Perry also celebrated with a special gift to young people in need. The e ntertainment mogul recently made a $45,000 donation to Young People Matter, an Atlanta youth shelter for girls younger than 18. The facility opened in 2007 and has served more than 6,000 youths, but was in danger of closing due to lack of funds.
Perry learned of the shelter's plight from news reports and personally visited with a gift that coincided with his 45th birthday.
He also commemorated his milestone birthday with a 45-mile bike ride.
"I did it!" he posted earlier this month.
Perry thanked his friends for participating in his special night.
"It was a night I'll never forget," he posted. "Thanks to all of them for making this night special for me. My next party will be at 50. Gonna mark it every 5 years. A celebration in thanks to God for my life."
