Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton was hospitalized Tuesday following a severe mental health crisis. Reports from his family confirm that the 48-year-old was live streaming at his Miami home when the incident occurred.
Family members stated that Hilton's children, along with his niece and sister, were inside the residence at the time of the event. According to the official statement, those relatives fled the house immediately to protect the children from witnessing the situation as it escalated.
Media reports indicate that first responders treated Hilton for injuries sustained during the incident. Following his hospitalization, his family issued a public plea to content creators, paparazzi, and the public to respect their privacy and avoid the area around their home.
The family emphasizes that their primary focus remains the well-being of the children as they work to re-establish stability and normalcy in their lives. Hilton, born Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr., has faced several medical challenges this year, including recent hospitalizations for a leg blood clot and an ulcer.
Public updates regarding his condition remain limited as the family manages this difficult period. They continue to ask for space and discretion as they navigate the aftermath of the event.
