Oprah Winfrey was hurt by Tyler Perry’s birthday gift… literally.

The 59-year-old TV veteran strained her back when trying to lift the huge flower arrangement Perry sent her.

“I like to send really large flower arrangements to people for whatever occasion,” the 43-year-old actor, director and screenwriter wrote on Facebook. “Well, I sent one to Oprah yesterday for her birthday. She strained her back picking it up. No joke!”

“Feel better Oprah. Happy birthday. Sorry,” Perry added. “Next year I’m sending her one rose.”
