Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton’s family and team are speaking out after Hilton was hospitalized following a TikTok livestream on Tuesday, during which he appeared to self-harm.
In a message posted to Hilton’s website, the blogger’s team and family thanked his followers for their support in wake of the shocking incident.
“We can confirm that Perez is receiving medical care, and our family’s focus right now is on his well-being,” the message read. “We kindly ask that you respect Perez’s privacy, as well as the privacy of his family, during this difficult time.”
The message added that Hilton’s team and family would share updates “if and when” they are able.
Hilton was transported to a Miami area hospital this week, where he was said to be receiving medical attention after appearing to harm himself on the TikTok livestream, law enforcement officials said in a statement Wednesday.
The statement, which did not mention Hilton by name, came after law enforcement in Miami responded to Hilton’s home on Tuesday after receiving multiple calls claiming Hilton was “livestreaming acts of self-harm on social media,” according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.
“The individual has been safely recovered and transported by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue to a local hospital, where he is receiving medical attention,” the sheriff’s office said Wednesday. “The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office Crisis Response Unit and Licensed Mental Health Professionals are also on scene providing support and resources to the individual’s family.”
Hilton’s TikTok livestream on Tuesday allegedly appeared to show him harming himself with a knife, with a bloody torso and face.
