A 4-alarm fire damaged one building at Tyler Perry’s 30-acre studio complex in southwest Atlanta late Tuesday night.
Fire Department spokesman Capt. Jolyon Bundrige says the blaze broke out before 9 p.m. and was extinguished about an hour later. More than 100 firefighters were called to the scene. Fortunately, no one was injured.
Bundrige says the cause of the fire and the amount of damage to the complex was not immediately known.

The massive complex -- called Tyler Perry Studios -- includes a 200,000-square-foot studio, five sound stages and a 400-seat theater owned by the media mogul.
Perry was at the complex and spoke to fire officials, but did not talk to reporters.
In March, Cee Lo Green performed for donors at a fundraiser for President Obama at the studios.

"I was with them for an entire week in my apartment," the mourning father told Good Morning America on Tuesday, as he recalled the last time he saw his daughters.

It should have been a happy time for Chief Warrant Officer Edward Cantrell, who was finally settling into being back at home with his family after serving as a Green Beret in Afghanistan.
Sadly, instead of celebrating his safe return from war, wife Louise Cantrell is now mourning a triple loss after her husband died trying to save their two daughters, Isabella, 6, and Natalia, 4, from their burning home, where they too perished, reported WRAL.com.
Edward, 36, and Louise, 37, jumped from the second floor of their century-old house in Hope Mills, near Fayetteville in North Carolina, in the early hours of Tuesday morning after an aggressive fire broke out.
As Louise ran to get help from a nearby nursing home, the brave Green Beret wrapped himself in a blanket and rushed back inside to save the girls, but "They never made it out," said Debbie Tanna, a spokeswoman for the sheriff's office.
