Overview
- The family announced Monday that Hilton has left acute hospital care and entered a residential treatment program to concentrate on his mental-health recovery, and they expect him to remain there for several weeks or longer as his treatment team decides.
- Hilton spent weeks in hospital after a livestreamed self-harm incident, which led Miami-Dade deputies to respond on Aug. 4 and to his involuntary psychiatric evaluation under Florida law.
- His family said he currently has no access to his phone or laptop and only limited contact with friends and relatives so he can focus on treatment.
- The family disputed widely circulated claims about his condition, saying he has not lost years of memory, is lucid with relatives, does not have the reported bandaging, and did not ask for specific celebrities to visit.
- Hilton’s three children are safe and remain together in their grandmother’s full-time care while the family prioritizes stability for the kids and support for his recovery, and the statement urged people to stop spreading cruel rumors.
