Tyler Perry's generous spirit strikes again.

Shoppers at two Walmart locations in Atlanta have gotten quite the holiday surprise if they had any items of layaway since Tyler Perry has paid every bill at each location. Putting an item on layaway allows customers to make small payments on items until they pay in full and can retrieve their product. Since it's the holiday season, layaway items are seemingly at an all-time high for those trying to lock down Christmas gifts.

"So I was trying to do this anonymously, but due to some circumstances... y'all know how nothing stays secret these days, so I just wanted to go ahead and tell you," he said in a video posted to Twitter. "If you have a layaway at the Walmart at 844 Cleveland Avenue in East Point, Georgia, in Atlanta, or if you have a layaway at the Walmart at 7001 Concourse Parkway in Douglasville, Georgia, if you have a layaway at either place and it was in there as of 9:30 this morning... I have paid for all of your layaways for Christmas."

"So Merry Christmas to everybody," he added. "You've got to go into the Walmart, pay a penny -- one penny -- and you get your layaway."

The Madea's Family Reunion actor explained how he knows the struggle at this time of year and is just grateful to be able to help out. Watch the full video below.
