Perez Hilton was hospitalized late Tuesday in Miami after a TikTok livestream appeared to show self harm, and an insider told the Daily Mail that Hilton’s first reported words were “I need help.” The 48 year old gossip blogger was described as stable and alert, while relatives said Hilton remains in a serious mental health crisis. According to the report, Hilton was able to speak with his mother, Teresita Lavandeira , after police arrived at his new Miami home. The source said Hilton appeared physically focused but was still struggling emotionally and may not yet fully understand what happened. What Happened Before the Livestream? The insider claimed Hilton had seemed normal earlier that day and had been excited about upcoming projects. Audio from the 911 response reportedly described the emergency as a suicide attempt, although the circumstances have not been independently confirmed by Hilton or his representatives. A family statement released Thursday said Hilton’s sister, Barbara Lavandeira , a niece, and Hilton’s three children left the home after relatives recognized that he was experiencing a severe mental health crisis and harming himself. TikTok removed the livestream after roughly 15 to 20 minutes, later attributing its continued availability to a moderator error, according to Deadline.
