Generous Tyrese Gibson made sure his daughter's longtime nanny can get Fast & Furious after handing her the keys to a brand new Audi.

The singer/actor bought the car as a birthday gift for Elba and posted footage of the moment she realised the motor was hers online.

The sobbing nanny said, "Now I can kick my old car?" to which the star responded, "This is your birthday (gift). It's in your name. It's yours..."

Elba has been looking after Gibson's seven-year-old daughter Shayla, his daughter with ex-wife Norma Mitchell, since she was 18 months old.
