Overview
- Hilton’s mother, Teresita Lavandeira, filed a petition for temporary custody of his three children on Friday, Aug. 7, court records show.
- Court documents say Perez Hilton voluntarily consented to the temporary custody and that his mother asked the court to seal the case to shield the children’s privacy.
- Hilton was taken to a Miami hospital after viewers reported a TikTok livestream in which he appeared to harm himself and he has been held for psychiatric evaluation under the Baker Act.
- The family says Hilton suffered significant blood loss, will require surgery, and that the children and other relatives left the home minutes before the livestream to avoid witnessing the incident.
- Under the temporary order the mother would be able to make medical and school decisions for the children while the family directs official updates to PerezHilton.com and asks for privacy as treatment and recovery continue.
