The family of media personality Perez Hilton released a statement confirming that he is capable of communication following a self-harm incident that occurred during a TikTok Live broadcast earlier in the week. The incident, which lasted approximately 15 minutes, prompted authorities to respond to his home. Hilton has since received medical attention for his condition.
In their statement, Hilton’s family expressed gratitude toward supporters who have offered prayers, messages, and assistance during this challenging period. They described the past week as emotionally taxing for both loved ones and his professional team, noting that limited information has been available to family members as they await further updates on his recovery.
The family requested continued compassion and prayers as Hilton progresses through his healing process. They indicated they would share additional information as confirmed details become available, emphasizing their priority remains focused on Hilton’s well-being. Meanwhile, the Perez Hilton podcast, which he co-hosts with Chris Booker, has been temporarily suspended. In recent months, Hilton has publicly discussed a spiritual transformation he experienced during a hospital stay, which led him to deepen his Christian faith and reconnect with his Catholic background.
