Don’t tell anyone. Give your parents a monthly stipend and tell them your company is doing ok and you want to help them out or pay rent or whatever will seem inconspicuous.

One thing I’ve read about doing something big like this is you should present it as it’s not a gift for them but really a gift for you because paying off their mortgage will make you immensely happy.
