Perez Hilton is currently receiving medical care following a mental health crisis that occurred during a livestream earlier this week. The family released a statement confirming that Hilton’s children, his niece, and his sister were present at the home shortly before the incident began. They evacuated the residence to protect the children from witnessing the events as they unfolded.
Police were called to the Miami home after multiple reports of a man performing self-harm on social media. Authorities successfully disengaged upon arrival to prioritize de-escalation, eventually securing the individual for transport to a local hospital. Officials stated that their primary goal in such situations is to provide time and space, reducing the risk of further injury to the individual or the public.
Hilton’s TikTok account has been suspended following the incident. TikTok reported that its systems flagged the stream for policy violations, though a moderator error caused a delay in the removal of the content. The platform confirmed it alerted law enforcement to the situation once the stream was identified.
Family members have asked for privacy as they work to help the children process what happened. They expressed gratitude for the support received since the incident. Hilton’s cohost, Chris Booker, shared that the collective focus remains entirely on Hilton’s well-being. No plans for future projects are under consideration while the family prioritizes recovery and the restoration of their home environment.
