Comedian Deon Cole evacuates home during LA fires hours after being discharged from hospital: ‘This day is devastating’

Deon Cole had to evacuate his home shortly after being discharged from the hospital due to the Los Angeles fires.

Last Thursday, the “Black-ish” alum shared a selfie of himself in a hospital bed with IVs running through his arms in honor of his 53rd birthday.

“Thank u all for your birthday well wishes. I sure could use them. Thank you all,” he captioned the post.

Though Cole did not disclose what health issues he was dealing with, the following day, the comedian said he had been discharged from the hospital and had to immediately pack some of his belongings to evacuate his home as the flames continued to destroy the area.

“This day is devastating!!!!” he captioned an Instagram video of himself driving away from his home.

“Left the hospital earlier, sick af, went home, then had to packed [sic] what I could to evacuate. As I drove away I seen the fire rising from behind my house, It’s a nightmare!!!” he added.

The “Deon Cole: OK, Mister” star was able to take the flowers his mom, Charleen Cole, gave him before she died in September 2021.

Deon was showered with support from several stars in the comments section of his post.

“So sorry Deon,” commented Yvette Nicole Brown.

“I am praying for you my brother.🙏🏾,” added “RHOA” alum Peter Thomas.

“Praying for you and others 💔🙏🏾,” wrote “Married to Medicine” star Quad Webb.

“🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾,” said Cedric the Entertainer.

Deon is one of hundreds of thousands of people who have had to evacuate their homes in the LA area due to the devastating fires that started in the Pacific Palisades last Tuesday.

Paris Hilton, Mel Gibson, Candy Spelling, Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag and more have lost their homes in the fires.
