In a video shared on Instagram, the talent show host sent his prayers, love, and support to the people affected by the devastating wildfires raging in Los Angeles.

Fans honed in on Simon Cowell's facial appearance, speculating whether he might be unwell or recovering from a medical crisis, as he spoke about the Los Angeles wildfires.

The 65-year-old shared that Los Angeles has been his second home for 25 years. The tragedy hits close to home for him as he also owns property in Malibu, one of the impacted areas. Cowell expressed devastation over the destruction he had seen and read about. "It's horrific," he noted.

The media personality added, "Like a lot of other people I want to do something to help, I've done some research and it looks like the Red Cross organization is doing an awful lot. I've attached the link, I'm going to make a donation."

The Los Angeles wildfires have wreaked havoc, burning more than 40,500 acres, claiming 24 lives and counting, and destroying over 12,300 structures. Four major fires are active, with the Auto Fire at zero percent containment, Hurst at 97 percent, Eaton at 33 percent, and Palisades at 14 percent at the time of publication. The devastation continues to unfold.

Therefore, Cowell has also urged others who can help to contribute emphasizing the immediate and ongoing need for assistance for those affected. He concluded, "I'm sending you my love, my prayers, my support. Lots of love."

Fans acknowledged Cowell's heartfelt plea but were equally struck by his altered appearance, sparking various speculations in the comment section. A concerned fan wondered, "Is Simon ok? I hope so. 🙏."

One user noticed something off, asking, "His Face & Eyes? What happened to him? 😢." Another individual speculated, "Did he have a stroke or something?" Worry filled the comment section, with a fan inquiring, "Has he had a stroke? He does not look right at all."

More observers remarked, "He looks unwell," while others bluntly stated, "Does not look like him." Some were taken aback, declaring, "Looks nothing like him 👀 🤣" and one person asking, "Who is this?" A fan with similar sentiments asked directly, "What happened to you?"

Amid the concern, one fan shared their admiration, "Love Simon Cowell. He's a lovely man who makes everyone happy 😊 😀xx." A simple compliment also noted, "Beautiful ❤️."

Cowell has previously openly shared his experience with cosmetic enhancements. In 2017, he revealed undergoing a Silhouette Soft Lift, a procedure using bioplastic threads inserted into the skin to reduce sagging and achieve a firmer appearance. This treatment was performed by renowned dermatologist Dr. Jean-Louis Sebagh.

The media personality mentioned at the time that various options were available for cosmetic treatments. He emphasized that it's not all about using fillers and Botox nowadays.

According to him, some procedures, while painful, can help address issues like sun damage and clogged pores. Cowell noted that the enhancement he got offered him a more rejuvenated look.

He explained, "For me now, it's all about having clean skin. If you have clean skin, you look better. But you have to be very careful with some of this stuff."

Still, in 2022, Cowell had moved away from cosmetic procedures. He changed his perspective on them, noting that one enhancement had him looking "like something out [sic] a horror film."

Cowell acknowledged that there was a time when he may have overdone it with cosmetic procedures. He reflected on seeing an old photo of himself that brought him to this realization. "Didn't recognize it as me first of all," he admitted.

Today, Cowell emphasizes that his focus has shifted towards healthier habits, such as maintaining a balanced diet and drinking plenty of water. These are the actions he takes to maintain a healthy skin and body.
