The family of Perez Hilton has shared encouraging news about his recovery journey months after an incident on a livestream. Hilton, 48, has been making strides in his mental health recovery.
In a statement on November 3, his family disclosed that he has shown progress since the incident in August. He has been able to enjoy time with his three children. Hilton has transitioned into a partial hospitalization program and resides in supportive housing while continuing mental health care.
“It’s been three months since our family began navigating this difficult time,” the family expressed. “While it hasn’t been easy, we’re grateful to have some positive news to share about Perez’s recovery.”
The incident in question occurred on August 4 when Hilton, whose real name is Mario Armando Lavandiera Jr., appeared on a TikTok livestream allegedly self-harming. Concerned viewers notified Miami-Dade officers in Florida, leading to Hilton’s hospitalization. He suffered significant blood loss and required surgery at that time.
This situation remains under development and will be updated as more information becomes available.
