Perez Hilton is currently hospitalized in serious but stable condition. His family released a formal statement on Saturday regarding the blogger's status following an incident earlier this week at his home near Miami.
Reports confirm that law enforcement responded to a call regarding a livestreamed act of self-harm. Officers arrived at the property and safely secured Hilton before transporting him to a medical facility. The family notes that he sustained significant injuries and experienced blood loss, which will require surgery in the near future.
While his condition remains stable, the family indicates that his recovery path is long. They have restricted communication to medical providers and immediate family members only. No public statements have come from Hilton since his hospitalization.
TikTok confirmed they removed the video after automated systems flagged the content, though a moderator error caused a delay in the removal process. Hilton is currently being held under Florida's Baker Act, which allows for temporary emergency mental health care when there is a risk of self-harm.
