Perez Hilton, a celebrity blogger, was hospitalized after he appeared to harm himself on camera during a TikTok livestream Tuesday, the authorities said.

The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office said Wednesday morning that Hilton had been transported from his home in Miami to a hospital, where he was receiving medical attention after “livestreaming acts of self-harm on social media.”

Video clips and screenshots from the livestream circulated widely online, appearing to show Hilton, 48, in distress and injuring himself on camera.

A representative for Hilton, Dante Rusciolelli, wrote in an email Wednesday that he had no additional information on Hilton’s condition. “Our focus remains on Perez’s health, recovery, and the privacy of both him and his family during this incredibly difficult time,” he said.

On Tuesday evening, sheriff’s deputies went to Hilton’s house after receiving multiple calls about a disturbing livestream, the sheriff’s office said in a statement Wednesday morning. When officers arrived at his house, they spoke with family members there and confirmed that Hilton was alone inside.

The sheriff’s office said deputies had monitored the situation rather than engaging directly, seeking to “prioritize de-escalation by creating time, distance, and opportunities for communication,” an approach that it said minimizes harm.

The office later said that mental health professionals were providing support to Hilton’s family.

He was hospitalized under Florida’s Baker Act, which allows authorities to hold someone involuntarily for up to 72 hours if that person poses a threat of harm to themselves or others, a sheriff’s office spokesperson confirmed.

Dan Romer, the research director of the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania, who has published studies on self-harm and social media, said he could not speak to Perez’s motivations for livestreaming the act. But, he said, “Often when people do self-harm, they are reaching out for help.”

That attention seeking is typically directed toward family or friends. It’s possible that Perez regards his large online following “as part of his social circle,” Romer said. And, he added, referring to the multiple calls that law enforcement received about Perez, “they intervened and got him some help.”

Hilton, whose real name is Mario Lavandeira, rose to fame in the mid-2000s with his popular celebrity-gossip website, PerezHilton.com. His rapid rise to the national spotlight was fueled by both media-grabbing outbursts and dogged self-promotion. The oldest of two siblings from a working-class Cuban American family, he worked as a struggling actor, a publicist and then a reporter at Star magazine early in his career.

Then, seemingly overnight, he was a cultural icon creating no-holds-barred commentary on celebrities and pop culture for the masses. In 2006, he said, he began to devote 17 hours a day to produce blog items. By 2007, he was earning $9,000 a week for a single advertisement on his site, and had become a celebrity in his own right.

“I’m like Madonna, I’m not afraid to offend,” Hilton said in a 2007 interview with The New York Times.

In 2020, he was banned from TikTok for violating its community guidelines. At the time, Hilton told the Times that he had been “very depressed” and the social media platform “gave me something to really look forward to every day.”

In March, Hilton said on social media that he had been hospitalized for three weeks with an ulcer and sepsis. Hilton said that during the experience “God presented himself to me.” In April, Hilton announced his return to TikTok on social media, thanking both the platform and Jesus.

TikTok did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday morning. Hilton’s account appeared to have been taken down Wednesday.
