TikTok star Caleb Coffee fell off an 80-foot cliff in Hawaii while on a hike with friends and is now facing injuries including a spinal fracture, broken femur, elbow, and wrist, and multiple gauges and burns across his body, his family wrote on a GoFundMe created to raise money for his treatment and hospitalization.
Coffee, who has over 11 million followers on TikTok, posted a video to the platform Thursday from what appeared to be a hospital. He reassured his fans that he was OK and said he found out his neck and spine were not broken. He said he was grateful that he survived the incident.
"60 to 80 feet is... I can't even fathom that," Coffee said in the video, which has been viewed over 3.5 million times already. "I don't even remember, I just woke up and I thought I was gonna die. And then, I didn't die."
His father, Jason Coffee — who wrote that his son has stitches in his forehead and lip — said, "It truly is a Miracle he is alive" in an Instagram story posted on Thursday.
According to the GoFundMe, Coffee fell on "lava rock" and had to be airlifted to the emergency room.
"We don't know the full extent of his injuries yet," the GoFundMe page said. "He also hasn't been able to hold down food. The medics have informed us more injuries will most likely pop up over the next few weeks."
The page added: "The medics and everyone is telling us he's lucky to be alive and is one of the strongest out there."
On his Instagram story, Jason Coffee thanked fans for their love and support and said, "It truly feels like a family."
"It looks like it's going to be a long road to recovery but Caleb is strong and we know he's going to get through this!" Jason Coffee wrote.
In his hospital video, Coffee said this wasn't the first time he nearly died. He told fans he had severe seizures when he was younger.
The comment section of his post has overflowed with messages of support from fans and other major creators like Danielle Cohn and Noah Glenn Carter. "Praying for you Caleb, get well soon. You are so strong," YouTuber Tanner Fox wrote.
According to his Instagram, Coffee moved from Texas to Hawaii earlier this year.
