Deon Cole had a super stressful week because he ended up in the hospital on his birthday, and — when he was finally discharged, he went home and had to pack up and flee the Los Angeles wildfires, TMZ reports.
The comedian and Old Spice pitchman Deon Cole posted about the unfortunate series of events late Friday night, sharing a photo of himself in the car, packed with sentimental items like the flowers his mother gave him before she died back in 2021.
Deon Cole also shared a clip showing the light from the blaze creeping over hills in the distance.

Deon posted a pic of him in a hospital bed back on Thursday — his birthday, no less … thanking people for the well-wishes — though he didn’t specify what landed him in the hospital.
DC is one of the many Hollywood mainstays who have been forced from their homes since the Pacific Palisades wildfire broke out in West L.A. earlier this week. Other stars — Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag, Paris Hilton, Jeff Bridges and more — have lost their homes in the blaze.
The Palisades Fire has burned more than 22K acres … and, it’s currently only 11% contained — seemingly poised to do a lot more damage.
