(Columbia Pictures/Associated Press) Hong Kong real estate mogul Yu Panglin announced on Monday his plans to transform Bruce Lee's final home into a museum dedicated to the actor and martial arts star.

Yu told reporters on Monday he would donate the property to Hong Kong's government for use as a museum, unveiling a plan to expand the site into a memorial to a global icon.
