Overview
- Perez Hilton livestreamed an apparent self-harm episode on Aug. 4 that prompted viewers to call 911 and led Miami-Dade deputies and fire rescue to treat him for an overdose and multiple lacerations.
- Family members disclosed on a recent podcast that Hilton fell several times the night of the livestream and suffered multiple broken bones that required ongoing hospital treatment and planned surgery.
- Hilton was held for psychiatric evaluation under Florida’s Baker Act after the Aug. 4 incident, the hold has expired, and his family says he will be transferred for continued inpatient mental-health recovery.
- A Miami court granted Hilton’s mother temporary legal custody of his three children and ordered that any visits with him be supervised by an agreed family member or a therapist.
- The livestream remained on TikTok for minutes before removal and the platform later banned his account, and the family is managing public updates through PerezHilton.com while urging privacy and acknowledging unproven speculation about factors such as prior sepsis.
