The child star of "Two and a Half Men" was outside his L.A. home, watching firefighters put out a blaze at one of his neighbors' homes.

Diddy" Combs, had started Tonite, "a disruptive live events company," together. Jones told the outlet that their business was familiar to him. The former actor said, "My pops was a rigger and started a[n equipment] rental company, so I grew up working with him on shows and festivals."
