Perez Hilton recovering in hospital after reports he self-harmed during livestream

What the report says

Perez Hilton is recovering in hospital after police and emergency services responded to reports that he appeared to self-harm during a TikTok livestream, according to BBC World News. The incident was reported at his home in Miami on Tuesday, where viewers raised alarm after seeing what they described as self-harm on social media. The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office later said a man had been safely recovered from the home and taken to a local hospital for medical attention.

Police said crisis response personnel and licensed mental health professionals were also present to support the individual’s family. In statements to US media, the sheriff’s office did not initially name Hilton, but said deputies had responded to a person harming himself and later confirmed the man had been transported to hospital. Hilton’s representatives said they were aware of “concerning content” online involving their client and said they had not been able to reach him directly.

Hilton, whose legal name is Mario Lavandeira, became widely known in the early 2000s for his celebrity gossip site and later shifted toward a more family-oriented public image. He has spoken publicly in recent years about regrets over his earlier online persona. BBC said it had contacted Hilton’s representatives, TikTok and Miami police for comment. The article also noted that support resources are available for people affected by self-harm or suicide-related issues.
