Overview
- Multiple viewers reported a TikTok livestream in which Perez Hilton appeared to be cutting himself, prompting thousands to contact emergency services and drawing at least 5,000 live viewers to the feed.
- Miami‑Dade deputies located his Westchester home, spoke with family outside, used tactical withdrawal and de‑escalation techniques, and had licensed mental‑health responders from the county’s Crisis Response Unit on scene.
- With support from Miami‑Dade Fire Rescue, Hilton was taken from the house and transported to a local hospital for medical and psychiatric evaluation where he remains under observation and receiving care.
- TikTok removed the live feed within minutes but short clips circulated widely online, and Hilton’s representatives asked for privacy while authorities and family continue follow‑up and have not released medical details.
- The case follows serious health problems Hilton disclosed earlier in 2026 and is likely to sharpen scrutiny of livestream moderation, 911 reporting by viewers, and how crisis teams coordinate with families in mental‑health emergencies.
