# Perez Hilton hospitalized after mental health crisis > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/perez-hilton-selfharm-livestream > Updated: 2026-08-20T23:20:33.000Z. Sources: 271. Developments: 10. In early August 2026, celebrity blogger Perez Hilton (Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr.) was hospitalized following a mental health crisis. During a TikTok livestream from his Miami home on August 4, Hilton engaged in self-harm, prompting a 911 call and intervention by the Miami–Dade Sheriff’s Office. Although automated systems flagged the broadcast, a moderator error delayed its removal, and TikTok subsequently banned Hilton’s account. Hilton was placed under a mandatory psychiatric hold via the Baker Act. Family members reported he suffered significant blood loss and sustained injuries requiring surgery. To protect his three children—Mario (13), Mia (11), and Mayte (8)—from the trauma, they were evacuated from the home. Following a court ruling, Hilton’s mother, Teresita Lavandeira, was granted temporary legal custody to manage the children's medical and educational needs. Hilton has been granted supervised visitation, which requires psychiatric clearance and oversight by a therapist or agreed-upon family member. The case remains sealed to protect the children's privacy. As of late August, Hilton remains in inpatient treatment at an undisclosed facility. Family members report he faces potential “lifelong disfigurement” from the incident. While Hilton has reportedly inquired about support from celebrity acquaintances, a family friend noted he has not received flowers, cards, or visits from high-profile figures. Amidst the crisis, actor Jared Padalecki issued an apology after initially posting a message of support, stating he was unaware of Hilton’s history of mocking the mental health of others. ## Claims - Perez Hilton livestreamed a self‑harm attempt on TikTok from his home in Miami.
