Perez Hilton hospitalized following livestream of self-harm, according to sheriff’s officials
Perez Hilton, the prominent celebrity blogger and podcaster, is currently receiving medical care following distressing events that unfolded at his Miami-area home. According to a media source, authorities responded to reports of a livestream in which Hilton appeared to be engaged in acts of self-harm.
The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office confirmed that their deputies were dispatched in response to the alarming livestream on Tuesday night. The initial reports suggested that an individual was broadcasting acts posing significant risk to their well-being. While the sheriff’s statement did not name Hilton, they later confirmed that the individual was “safely recovered” and subsequently taken to a hospital by the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue for medical attention.
At the scene, deputies also spoke to Hilton’s family members, who informed them that he had been alone in the residence during the troubling incident. A statement released on Hilton’s official website stated that both his family and team are “incredibly grateful for the overwhelming outpouring of love, support, and prayers,” while they focus on his well-being. They have requested respect for his privacy during this challenging period.
A distressing livestream, reportedly aired on TikTok before being removed from the platform, depicted Hilton in distress, with visible injuries. Observers of the video sent pleas for help, requesting authorities be notified. Footage from Hilton’s neighborhood captured a significant police presence and the area cordoned off with tape, signaling the gravity of the situation.
Dante Rusciolelli, CEO of Golden Artists Entertainment, which manages Hilton, noted that there was no additional confirmed information regarding Hilton’s condition but emphasized the importance of respecting his family’s privacy. Hilton, born Mario Lavandeira, gained notoriety in the early 2000s for his blog which often lampooned celebrities. In recent years, he has publicly vowed to cease making disparaging comments about others as a response to the growing societal concern over bullying.
Hilton, who is a single father to three children, had recently shared his excitement about returning to Miami after three and a half years living in Las Vegas. His podcast, “The Perez Hilton Podcast,” continues to be a platform where he engages with celebrity news while maintaining a close connection with his supporters. As his family and team navigate this difficult time, hope remains that Hilton will achieve a thorough recovery.
