Comedian George Lopez Lends A Helping Hand
 With Prince's Financial Implications 

BHR Hollywood Reports.........Prince's family has a guardian angel ... who goes by the name George Lopez, because we've learned the comedian has fronted money to the family the singer left behind.

Earlier this week, Prince’s older half-brother, Alfred Jackson, told reports that the 55-year-old actor “has helped us out tremendously, and we’re extremely grateful.”

At a private memorial service at Los Globos in Los Angeles on Saturday, Lopez confirmed that he had indeed helped the family out, though he didn’t go into detail about the specifics about the financial implications.

“I assisted the brothers that were in need at that particular moment,” he said.
Lopez was by himself in Columbus, Ohio, when he found out that Prince had died unexpectedly at
age 57.

 “It wasn’t an easy day or weekend,” he admitted, noting that he eventually had Eddie Murphy’s brother, Charlie Murphy, around to help him cope.

 “Thank God we have each other. We really kind of brought each other back up. It was tough news.“

Lopez also shared a story  similar to the one he would later tell during the memorial service -- about how The Purple One inadvertently effected his former talk show, Lopez Tonight.

 “The art director came over and said 'Prince wants the green room painted white.' It was this nasty green,” he explained.

“So I said, ‘Well if he wants it painted white, then paint it white!’ They took all the furniture out, they painted it white, they brought in some white couches, some white carpet -- and it wasn’t him, it was me.”

Lopez later told Prince that he got the room painted just for him, to which he apparently replied, “You did?!... it's beautiful now, but thank you.”
