Family’s Health Update
On Saturday, a statement on Hilton’s official website, PerezHilton.com, addressed what the family called false reports about his condition and hospitalization circumstances. They emphasized that only information from PerezHilton.com should be considered official. Hilton remains hospitalized under Florida’s Baker Act, allowing temporary detainment for a mental health crisis. His communication is limited to family and direct caregivers, with no media statements since hospitalization.
‘Significant Blood Loss’ and Upcoming Surgery
The family update revealed that Hilton’s injuries include significant blood loss and additional injuries requiring surgery soon. They stressed that rehabilitation will be a lengthy process. They expressed gratitude for Hilton spending time with his mother and sister during recovery.
Incident Details
The incident occurred on August 4, drawing attention online. Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office reported responding to someone livestreaming self-harm acts on social media at a Miami residence. Authorities safely transported the individual, identified as Hilton, to a hospital. TikTok detected and flagged the livestream shortly after it began and escalated it to human moderators. They removed it after about 15 minutes and banned the account.
Request for Privacy
Hilton’s family requested privacy to focus on treatment and recovery. The statement urged reporters and the public to avoid gathering outside their home, following relatives, or photographing Hilton’s children, emphasizing the children’s safety under family care. The statement asked photo agencies not to publish their pictures.
Future Steps
As of Sunday, no timeline for Hilton’s hospital release was provided. Surgery is expected soon, with treatment and recovery anticipated to be long-term efforts.
