Perez Hilton hospitalized following self-harm livestream
Celebrity gossip blogger Perez Hilton remains hospitalized in an inpatient facility following a distressing TikTok livestream on August 4, during which he appeared to engage in self-harm. Hilton’s brother-in-law, Tom, provided updates stating that the blogger sustained multiple broken bones due to several falls during the incident.
Medical professionals are currently transitioning Hilton’s care from treating his physical injuries and lacerations to addressing his mental health. While Hilton is described as “lucid,” he reportedly suffers from significant memory gaps regarding the night of the crisis. His family has noted that the underlying cause of this “mental break” remains unknown, though some have speculated on potential links to a previous battle with severe sepsis in March.
Following the incident at his Miami home, Hilton’s three children were placed in the temporary care of their grandmother. Hilton has been granted supervised visits contingent upon psychiatric clearance. The public nature of the event has reportedly caused Hilton significant humiliation as he begins a long recovery process.
