Overview
- The livestream on Aug. 4 showed Perez Hilton appearing to harm himself and prompted viewers to call 911, after which Miami‑Dade deputies and fire rescue were dispatched to his Miami home.
- An incident report says first responders treated him on scene for multiple lacerations and an overdose before transporting him to a hospital, and the family reports he suffered significant blood loss that will require surgery.
- Hilton has been held under Florida’s Baker Act for psychiatric evaluation, has no access to a phone or the internet, and his family is directing updates to PerezHilton.com while requesting privacy.
- His mother filed for temporary custody of his three children and court papers indicate Hilton voluntarily consented to the short‑term arrangement so his family can care for the kids during his recovery.
- TikTok banned Hilton’s account after the video ran for about 10 minutes and the company acknowledged a human moderation error, while family members say he had recent hospital stays and voluntary psychiatric care related to severe depression.
