Perez Hilton’s family has released a statement confirming that the celebrity blogger’s children, alongside his sister and niece, were evacuated from his home during his recent livestream. The incident occurred on Tuesday evening when viewers alerted authorities after witnessing a graphic display of self-harm. Law enforcement responded to the scene, and Hilton was hospitalized shortly after.
His family noted that the moments leading up to the evacuation were extremely difficult as they worked to shield the children from trauma. They stated that their current priority remains the healing and security of the children, while requesting that the public and media respect their privacy at this time. TikTok has since banned Hilton’s account from its platform following the incident.
Regarding his medical status, the family confirmed in a separate update that Hilton is currently able to communicate. They expressed gratitude for the prayers and support received throughout this situation. The family continues to ask for space to allow for the recovery of everyone involved as they deal with the aftermath of these events.
