Perez Hilton’s family says his children were in his home shortly before a reported self-harm incident that was livestreamed on TikTok. In statements reported by multiple outlets, the family describes the situation as a severe mental health crisis and says Hilton’s three children, along with his niece and sister, were inside the home “minutes before” the livestream began. According to the family, once it became clear he was harming himself, they immediately fled/evacuated the home to protect the children and to avoid them witnessing further trauma. Several reports say Hilton appeared to self-harm during the livestream, and that he was taken to a hospital afterward. Variety also reports that a subsequent family statement says Hilton is able to communicate following hospitalization. The Independent says the family asks for privacy and that media leave the area around Hilton’s home. NBC News, The Hollywood Reporter, and other outlets repeat the core timeline as presented by the family: children present briefly before the livestream, then evacuated during the crisis.
