Kate Quigley fans are praying for the comedian to recover after he ended up in critical condition after he reportedly ingested a tainted batch of cocaine that also killed three other people, including comedy writer Fuquan Johnson.

Quigley, 39, informed a friend that she was “alive” after being hospitalized in Los Angeles over the weekend.

“I am alive. I’m not cool. But I’m fine, ”Quigley wrote to his comedian friend, Brian Redban.

TMZ reports that Fuquan Johnson, who was a writer for Comedy Parlor Live , died after taking the drug laced with fentanyl at a home in Venice, Los Angeles, on Friday night. Three others were reportedly found dead at the scene.

Fentanyl is a more powerful pain reliever than heroin and has become a popular way to eliminate certain recreational drugs, including cocaine, with tragic results.

The outlet reports that authorities confirmed that the other two victims were Enrico Colangeli and Natalie Williamson, who were 48 and 33 years old, respectively.

Quigley was reportedly in critical condition when she was hospitalized and many fans and healthy eager ones are praying that she makes it through.

Several people are also sharing tributes to the late Johnson after his passing.

“It would be hard to find someone in the world of comedy who is as sweet as @KateQFunny,” comedian Steve Byrne tweeted. “I am sending a lot of LOVE, positive mojo and prayers your way. May God rest the souls of Fuquan Johnson and the other knights. Much respect to anyone with whom I share the stage.
