The past few days have been hell for comedian Deon Cole—no thanks to the LA fires. From spending his birthday in a hospital bed to evacuating his Los Angeles home soon after, the 53-year-old entertainer has had a lot on his plate recently. He has also shared his experience in several posts on social media.

Contrary to fan’s expectations, Deon Cole wasn’t in a festive mood on Thursday, January 9, 2025. This was the day he turned 53. Instead, he shocked his fans by sharing a photo of himself in one of the most unlikeliest of places—a hospital. The photo showed him in a black shirt, with a yellow disposable face mask on a hospital bed. 

In the post, he wrote, “Thank u all for your birthday well wishes. I sure could use them. Thank you all.” He also had multiple IVs plugged into his arms in the selfie he shared with his 1 million Instagram followers. However, he didn’t disclose why he was in a hospital.

As horrible as it was to spend such a significant day being hospitalized, his troubles were far from over. Deon Cole resides in Los Angeles, where a ferocious fire has been raging for almost a week. In another post on Friday, he announced that he had been discharged from the hospital. But his troubles were far from over.

Where Does Deon Cole Live?

Deon Cole’s home is in the Southern California city of Los Angeles. For that reason, he is one of the residents whose property is at risk of devastation from the Los Angeles fires. By the time he was on the hospital bed, the inferno had already razed thousands of homes down.

Thankfully, he was released just in time to evacuate his LA residence. He would become one of the dozens of celebrities who had been affected by the fires that overwhelmed local and state authorities. A downcast Cole expressed his frustrations to his fans in the video.

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

The story has been pretty much the same for hundreds of thousands of other residents who have been displaced by the disaster. With hundreds of homes burned down, California Governor Gavin Newsom has already described the fires as potentially the worst fire disaster ever witnessed in the country in terms of cost. 

Since Tuesday, January 7, 2025, wildfires have erupted in California forests and residential areas. Fire crews have battled around the clock to quell the raging flames, which have been aided by dry weather and fast winds. The fire broke out in the Pacific Palisades, Eaton, Sunset, Hurst, and other regions.

Was Deon Cole Affected by the LA Fires?

Like many other celebrities, the Los Angeles fires severely affected Deon Cole’s home. He had to evacuate his home late at night on Friday, January 10, 2025. He shared a video of himself on his way out of the area after leaving his home. With his parked car in the background, the “OK, Mister” star showed a part of his head in the video.

The video also showed items he rescued from his home, such as a large flower bouquet. Some large bags also lay on the car seat. “I got the flowers my mom gave me before she passed, though,” he revealed. The video also showed patches of reddish sky behind the trees in the landscape. These are presumably from the fires. 

Why Was Deon Cole Hospitalized?

Deon Cole didn’t disclose the reason for his hospitalization. However, many believe it could have something to do with the fire outbreak across the city. Just like him, many other celebrities were affected by the tragedy. High-profile figures such as Paris Hilton, Melissa Rivers, James Woods, and Tina Knowles also had to evacuate their homes.

As of today, 24 people have lost their lives in the disaster. At least a dozen people are still missing. Hundreds of homes have been lost, as well as other property, including vehicles. The fire has destroyed over 38,629 acres of land in the Palisade and Eaton regions, the top two affected areas in terms of land mass destruction. 

Interestingly, this area, which is about 60 square miles, is larger than the city of Paris. The French capital has a land mass of about 40 square miles.

How Did Deon Cole Respond to the LA Fires?

In addition to the hospitalization and evacuation, Cole missed out on a birthday bash. He postponed plans for a birthday party due to the chaos and sorrow caused by the city’s fires. “Due to the fires in Los Angeles, we are postponing our party at The Well. Thoughts and prayers to those that we have lost.”

Deon Cole has sympathized with the families of those who lost their lives in the fires, as well as the injured persons. “Don’t feel right to do my birthday party while people are losing everything they own and myself being under high alert for my own home,” the “Blackish” star said.

Deon Cole, whose estimated net worth is $10 million, also received some sympathy from his industry colleagues. Jamie Foxx wrote, “Prayer warriors on deck ASAP,” under his post.
