Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton is currently receiving medical care after a hospitalization incident that followed a disturbing livestream on Tuesday. His family and representatives have provided an update to the public, confirming that he is able to communicate. The situation drew attention after fans alerted authorities regarding a broadcast in which Hilton appeared to harm himself.
The Miami-Dade County Sheriff’s Office responded to the incident at a home in the Westchester neighborhood of Miami-Dade County. Officials stated they spoke with family members on the scene and verified that Hilton was alone at the time. The office cited standard protocol for mental health crises, focusing on establishing communication and distance to ensure safety.
A spokesperson for TikTok addressed the incident, confirming the platform banned Hilton’s account. The spokesperson disputed reports regarding the duration of the stream, noting that the content was flagged and addressed by their moderation system.
This hospitalization comes following a significant health scare earlier this year, when Hilton reported he was treated for sepsis and underwent emergency surgery after an ulcer perforated. In his recent public communications, Hilton has reflected on his career and his desire to distance himself from his past as a gossip blogger. His team continues to request privacy for him and his family while he focuses on recovery.
