Family Provides Update on Perez Hilton Weeks After Hospitalization
His family said he is alive, getting help and expected to stay in the program for several more weeks.
Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton entered a residential treatment program five weeks after his Aug 4 hospitalization, with the Miami-based internet personality expected to remain for several more weeks.
Miami-Dade sheriffs responded to Hilton's home on Aug 4 following reports of livestreamed self-harm; the video, pulled by TikTok, showed the celebrity blogger with visible injuries and cuts.
His family rejected "false" reports that Hilton lost a decade of memory or believes it is 2016. "He is lucid and communicates clearly with his family," they stated, noting he has no phone access.
Three children remain in the full-time care of their grandmother, with relatives working to provide "as much stability, routine, and normalcy as possible" during the family's recovery.
Linking the situation to Suicide Prevention Month, the family encouraged people in crisis to seek support; in the United States, you can call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline 24 hours a day.
