Johnson’s family has reportedly raised $70,000 from celebrities and fans alike, meaning the funeral is now entirely paid for.

Comedian Lil Rey Howery reportedly gave $4,000 to the I Got the Hook-Up actor’s family.

When asked why he did so, representatives for the Free Guy actor said that he wanted to help because he views comedy as a brotherhood.

Michael Blackson, who also appeared in the Friday franchise, raised $10,000 towards funeral costs.

The family have also received phone calls from rapper Fat Joe and Couples Retreat actor Faizon Love, expressing their condolences.

Johnson was found unconscious in a Los Angeles store on September 6. He was rushed to the hospital and pronounced dead there.

The actor appeared in dozens of film and television shows including on hit programs like Martin and Malcom & Eddie.

Though he worked consistently over the years, his widow admitted earlier this month that they were having trouble paying for his funeral and asked for all the ‘fake love’ to stop.

‘But just please stop the fake love. Please stop the fake calls. Please stop the fake texts. Please just for our family and when I say our family, I mean me, the kids, and the grandkids. Just stop it,’ Jones Mason said.

Donations exploded after Mason Jones’ heartfelt comments and the family now has more money than they need for the funeral. Johnson’s widow intends to make the most of the excess funds.

She revealed that, after funeral expenses are paid, she will use some of the money to take care of his four children, and she also said she wants to start a standup comedy school for underprivileged kids.

Jones Mason also said that Johnson didn’t have life insurance, and she intends to use some of the money to advocate for actors and comedians to get that insurance.
