Tyler Perry's mother, Willie Maxine Perry has died after a long illness at the age of 64.
Willie—the inspiration for Madea, the outspoken family matriarch played by Perry who's shown up in seven of his family-friendly movies—passed away last night, according to a brief statement on her son's website.
"Thank you for all your prayers," the message reads. He did not disclose the cause of death or where she died.
Perry attended the Nov. 1 premiere of the Sundance darling Precious, which he coproduced with Oprah Winfrey, before going on self-imposed hiatus.
