Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton is hospitalized in Florida in “serious but stable” condition after an incident that his family says involved self-harm during a TikTok livestream from his Miami-area home. Multiple outlets report the hospital stay follows a period when fans called police after the livestream.
Family statements cited by several publications say Hilton suffered significant blood loss and additional injuries, and that he is expected to need surgery in the coming days. One report adds that his communication is extremely limited and is confined to immediate family, medical providers, and others directly involved in his care.
Different sources focus on specific details of the hospitalization and surrounding circumstances. Forbes and other outlets emphasize the injuries and blood loss leading to surgery. Times of India and NBC News also describe the livestream and the family’s account of his condition, including that he is protected under Florida’s Baker Act. The Sydney Morning Herald, Brisbane Times, and The Age note the family’s request that media and the public stop visiting his home as he prepares for treatment. New York Post additionally reports on statements from his sister about his mental state in the lead-up to the incident.
