Miami– Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton was taken to a Miami-area hospital this week to receive medical attention after appearing to self-harm in a TikTok livestream video, law enforcement officials said Wednesday.
The update, which did not mention Hilton by name, comes 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 man 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 providing support and resources to the man’s family.”

Hilton’s TikTok livestream on Tuesday reportedly showed her self-harming with a knife, with her torso and face covered in blood.
The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office said in a previous statement Tuesday that deputies spoke with her family members at the scene and “strategically separated while continuing to monitor the situation.”
“In many incidents involving someone 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.
Hilton’s representatives, Golden Artists Entertainment, released a statement Tuesday night, saying they were “aware of material circulating online related to our client.”
“At this time, despite our continued efforts to reach him, we have not been able to contact him directly. Our primary concern is Perez’s health and well-being, as well as the well-being of his family,” the statement said.
