Comedian Kate Quigley seen for first time since tragic fentanyl overdose that left three others dead

COMEDIAN Kate Quigley has been seen out in public for the first time since she survived a tragic fentanyl overdose that killed three others, including fellow comic Fuquan Johnson.

Quigley, 39, was spotted getting out from her convertible and walking into a barbershop in Los Angeles on Tuesday afternoon.

Sporting a David Bowie t-shirt, cut-off denim shorts, and a baseball cap with the letters "FBP" emblazoned on the front, Quigley spent only five minutes inside the barbershop before getting back into her car.

She paused briefly to check her reflection in her rear-view mirror and then smiled, before driving away.

Quigley was discharged from the hospital on Saturday, September 11.

Seven days earlier, she was found unresponsive inside her plush $1.8 million Venice Canals apartment in the early hours of the morning after reportedly taking cocaine that had been laced with fentanyl while hosting a party.

Found alongside Quigley were fellow comedians Fuquan Johnson, 42, and Enrico Colangeli, 48, as well as her friend, 33-year-old Natalie Williamson.

They all tragically died, having allegedly taken the same laced drugs.

DON'T TAKE 'LIFE FOR GRANTED'

Her first public sighting comes days after she vowed in an emotional Twitter post "not to take life for granted."

"Thank you to everyone who reached out to me over the past week," she wrote in the post, confirming her release from the hospital.

"I feel overwhelmed by the outpouring of kind messages and am incredibly grateful to be surrounded by a strong community of friends, family, colleagues, and fans who have offered their support during this time; and to the team of paramedics, nurses, and doctors who saved my life."

She said she is still in shock and devastated by the loss "of my friends Fu, Rico, and Natalie."

"Words cannot describe the pain I am feeling & I will be changed forever by their passing," she wrote.

"Fu was a generous, loving soul. He was hilarious, supportive and incredibly authentic with the most infectious spirit.

"Rico was always filled with enthusiasm & Natalie was so kind and endearing.

"They each made an indelible mark on my life and the lives of their loved ones. I will miss them."

"My heart goes out to their friends and family, and I ask that you keep them in your thoughts."

The comedian concluded by advising followers to "tell your people that you love them every day."

"Stay safe. And please don't take this life for granted. I did, and I never will again," she added.

'LONG ROAD AHEAD'

Her mother previously revealed to The Sun that Kate had a "long road to recovery ahead", but the rising comedy star, who recently split from Darius Rucker, appeared to be in good health on Tuesday.

On Wednesday, she posted an inspirational quote to her Instagram page, which read: "When you follow the crowd you lose yourself, but when you follow your soul you will lose the crowd.

"Eventually your soul tribe will reappear. But do not fear the process of solitude."

The HaHa Comedy Club, where Quigley, Johnson, and Colangeli all frequently performed, will be hosting an event to commemorate the two stars' deaths on Wednesday evening.

It's currently unclear whether Quigley is set to attend.
