Perez Hilton Hospitalized After Livestream Appears to Show Self-Harm
There is a famous blogger named Perez Hilton who talks about celebrities on the internet.
One night, he was live on a video app and people watching got scared because it looked like he was hurting himself.
Some people who saw the video called for help right away.
Police officers went to his house in Miami to check on him.
They talked to his family and were very careful and calm so he would feel safe.
After watching over him, they helped him get into an ambulance so doctors could take care of him.
His work friends said they couldn't reach him and asked everyone to give him and his family privacy.
Earlier this year, Perez was very sick and had to stay in the hospital for three weeks.
He is a daddy to three kids, and people who care about him hope he gets better soon.
Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton was hospitalized Tuesday night after a TikTok livestream from his Miami-area home appeared to show him harming himself.
Alarmed viewers contacted emergency services, prompting Miami-Dade County Sheriff's deputies to respond after receiving multiple calls.
Deputies spoke with Hilton's family members, confirmed he was alone inside the home, and 'tactically disengaged' while prioritizing de-escalation and monitoring the situation.
Hilton was transported by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue to a local hospital, where he is receiving medical treatment; his TikTok account was suspended and the video was removed.
His management firm Golden Artists Entertainment said they had not been able to reach him directly and asked for privacy for Hilton and his family.
