I accidently tipped over my gfs dads guitar the other week resulting in the G string tuning peg breaking off. It is a Epiphone LP Special from 2003 made in china but i cannot seem to find the tuning pegs anywhere or any measurments for that matter either. Please help me i am so beyond cooked if he finds out

Don't worry, guitars are relatively resilient, and tuning pegs can be replaced.

I would also thoroughly check the neck just to make sure there's no other damage.
But don't worry, just about everything can be fixed.

And yes, definitely do tell him. He might be angry, but he'll appreciate you being honest about it and respect you more for it than you lying and him finding out anyway.

Yep agree with all above. And it will also let him know maybe the place he has his guitar is not optimal.

Good to hear that the neck is not broken or warped. One thing less to worry about. πŸ‘
AS for not telling him (which it seems you're still considering) - he's going to know one way or another. Either he'll notice the tuning peg is new either by seeing it, or using it, or at some point your G-friend will let something slip. Guaranteed, man. Better to admit to it and deal with the immediate anger and forgiveness than to drag it out and make it worse.
Just some life advice. πŸ˜‰

But one way or another, good luck!! πŸ‘

But better just bring it to a shop and let them fix it properly
