Perez Hilton is hospitalized in Miami after a mental health crisis and a TikTok livestream during which he harms himself. In the days following the incident, his mother files for temporary custody of the blogger’s three children, according to court documents reviewed by multiple outlets.
The filings are made in Miami-Dade County and are aimed at ensuring the children’s care while Hilton remains in hospital. Reports note that the request comes shortly after the livestream drew attention and, in some accounts, prompted police involvement. The Guardian and other outlets describe the hospitalization as part of a broader mental health emergency.
Outlet coverage is largely aligned on the custody request and the timing, with emphasis varying slightly. Some focus on the court filing details and the purpose of the custody arrangement, while others stress the role of social media and the circumstances leading to police being called. Across sources, Hilton’s mother is seeking temporary authority rather than a final custody decision.
Hilton remains hospitalized as recovery is expected to take time, with outlets citing that his treatment and recovery are likely to be a long process.
