Perez Hilton Hospitalized After Live‑Streamed Apparent Self‑Harm

Overview

• Perez Hilton, who streamed on Tuesday, appeared on a TikTok live in visible distress and was removed from his Miami home by authorities after multiple emergency calls.
• Miami‑Dade Sheriff’s Office said deputies monitored the scene, spoke with family at the residence, found Hilton alone inside, and used a tactical disengagement protocol to reduce escalation before taking him into care.
• He was hospitalized under the Baker Act, the Florida law that permits involuntary psychiatric holds for up to 72 hours when someone is judged a danger to themselves or others.
• TikTok removed the live video after about 15 minutes, said automated moderation flagged the content and alerted authorities, and the account linked to the stream has since become unavailable.
• Hilton’s representatives asked for privacy, his family said his three children left the house minutes before the broadcast to avoid witnessing the episode, and mental‑health professionals are supporting the family while no detailed medical update has been released.
