Perez Hilton’s family has provided an update following the hospitalization of the former Celebrity Big Brother contestant after a concerning incident during a TikTok live broadcast. The distressing livestream, which depicted Perez in a state of distress with a knife, prompted multiple emergency calls and police intervention.

A statement released by Perez’s team and family on his website acknowledged the concern from supporters and assured that Perez is currently receiving medical attention, with the family’s primary focus being his well-being. They have requested privacy during this challenging period and will share updates when possible.

During the livestream, Perez, aged 48, was seen naked, violating TikTok’s nudity policy. Following the suspension of his account, he was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. Local law enforcement, responding to the situation, opted for crisis intervention tactics to de-escalate the scenario and provide support to Perez’s family through licensed mental health professionals.

In a separate statement to TMZ, Perez’s representative expressed awareness of the online content concerning Perez and emphasized the priority of his health and family’s welfare. Until direct contact is established, no further comments will be made, and privacy is requested.

The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s office highlighted the importance of de-escalation strategies in mental health crises to prevent harm to individuals and law enforcement. In challenging times, support is available from Samaritans at 116 123 or through their website.
