Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton is currently receiving inpatient medical treatment following a recent crisis, according to a statement released by his family. The hospitalization came after an incident on August 4 in which Hilton livestreamed acts of self-harm on social media. First responders from Miami-Dade arrived at the scene and provided emergency care for multiple injuries and an overdose before transporting him to a local hospital under Florida’s Baker Act.
In an earlier update provided on August 9, Hilton’s family disclosed that he was in serious but stable condition after experiencing significant blood loss and sustaining injuries requiring surgical intervention. His sister, Barbara Lavandeira, revealed additional context about his mental health struggles, noting that he had expressed feelings of hopelessness and despair in the days preceding the incident. She indicated the family had sought professional help for him just before the livestream occurred.
Moving forward, Hilton’s professional team will resume operations at his long-established website, PerezHilton.com, which he founded over two decades ago. The family emphasized that while the website will continue publishing content, Hilton’s recovery and mental health care remain the primary focus. The announcement signals that despite his ongoing treatment, efforts are underway to maintain the digital platform that has been central to his career.
