Perez Hilton’s family speaks out after he appears to harm himself on livestream

The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office said in a previous statement Tuesday that deputies spoke with his family members on scene and “tactically disengaged while continuing to monitor the situation.”

“In many incidents involving a person experiencing a mental health crisis or actively harming themselves, deputies prioritize de-escalation by creating time, distance, and opportunities for communication,” the sheriff’s office said, adding this tactic can “reduce the likelihood of a suicide-by-cop encounter and minimize the risk of injury to the individual, deputies, and the public.”

Hilton’s representatives, Golden Artists Entertainment, released a statement Tuesday night, saying they were “aware of the concerning content circulating online involving our client.”

“At this time, we have not been able to make direct contact with him, despite our ongoing efforts to reach him. Our primary concern is Perez’s health and well being, as well as the well being of his family,” the statement added.

ABC News has reached out to TikTok for a comment.
