Overview
- Police and Miami‑Dade Fire Rescue responded after a livestream in early August showed Hilton appearing to harm himself, and deputies used de‑escalation before he was taken to a Miami hospital for emergency care.
- Hilton remains hospitalized in serious but stable condition, and his family says he suffered significant blood loss and other injuries that will require surgery and a long recovery.
- Relatives who were in the home fled with Hilton’s three children and say those children are now safe with family; the family has asked for privacy and designated PerezHilton.com as the official source for updates.
- Multiple outlets report that Hilton’s mother and sister are preparing to seek custody to provide stability during his recovery, but no formal court filing or custody order has been publicly confirmed.
- TikTok removed the livestream and suspended the account after an automated flag and a moderator error allowed the video to remain visible, a development that has intensified scrutiny of how platforms handle graphic self‑harm content.
