Perez Hilton Remains Hospitalized Nearly 2 Weeks After Livestream Incident
His family says the 48-year-old blogger is receiving care from medical and mental health professionals after suffering significant blood loss and surgery.
- Perez Hilton remains in inpatient care as of Monday, August 17, 2026, with his family confirming Sunday that the 48-year-old blogger receives treatment from a dedicated team of medical and mental health professionals.
- Miami-Dade deputies responded to multiple 911 calls on August 4 regarding a self-harm livestream on TikTok. Authorities 'safely recovered' Hilton, placing him under Florida's Baker Act for an involuntary mental health examination.
- Sister Barbara Lavandeira provided a firsthand account of the emergency, ensuring Hilton's three children were removed from the home. Mother Teresita Lavandeira subsequently filed for temporary custody, which Hilton consented to.
- Communication remains 'extremely limited and confined to immediate family,' the family noted. Hilton experienced 'significant blood loss' and requires surgery, with his recovery expected to be 'a long process.'
- Starting this week, the team behind PerezHilton.com will resume publishing content while Hilton focuses on recovery. The family maintains that his health and privacy remain 'the priority' as the site moves forward.
