It depends on the series whether turning them to stone kills them (like Lord of the Rings vs. Narnia, though usually getting turned to gold means death), and it seems to be the general consensus that it was fatal to Diablo, as otherwise Maleficent would have restored him.

And if Lucifer turned up in the sequel, he probably survived the fall by landing on his feet (cats are pretty resilient which I'm guessing is the origin of the "nine lives" thing). Unless you take the sequel as non-canon.
