Perez Hilton has been transported to a Florida hospital after a disturbing livestream in which he appeared to commit self-harm, according to police.
“The individual has been safely recovered and transported by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue to a local hospital, where he is receiving medical attention,” the Miami-Dade County Sheriff’s Office told TMZ, CNN and more in a statement late Tuesday, August 4.
“The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office Crisis Response Unit and Licensed Mental Health Professionals are also on scene providing support and resources to the individual’s family,” the statement added.
While the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office did not name Hilton, 48, neighbors at the scene told NBC6 that they believe the person is Hilton.
Earlier on Tuesday, the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office confirmed it had “received multiple calls regarding an individual who was live-streaming acts of self-harm on social media.”
“Deputies quickly located the individual’s residence, where they spoke with family members on scene and confirmed he was alone inside,” the sheriff’s department said in a statement to outlets including TMZ.
The statement continued, “In many incidents involving a person experiencing a mental health crisis or actively harming themselves, deputies prioritize deescalation by creating time, distance, and opportunities for communication.”
“At this time, deputies have tactfully disengaged while continuing to monitor the situation,” the statement concluded.

During a TikTok livestream on Tuesday, Hilton appeared naked, covered in blood and seemingly committing acts of self-harm. His account has since been taken down.
