Update: Perez Hilton remains in serious condition and needs surgery after ‘significant blood loss’

In a new update, the family of Perez Hilton have shared more about his current condition in hospital. Hilton was hospitalised last week, after sharing a graphic livestream on TikTok, appearing to show him self-harming.

In the video he shared, the father of three could be seen with a knife, making cuts to his body and face. Now, it has been said he needs surgery due to a significant loss of blood. He remains in hospital, where his family said previously he is now “able to communicate”.

“We want to confirm that Perez remains hospitalised under Florida’s Baker Act. His communication has been extremely limited and confined to immediate family, medical providers, and others directly involved in his care. He has not communicated with the media or issued any public statements,” the family said in a new update.

Florida’s Baker Act is a law that allows temporary detention and involuntary psychiatric evaluation of individuals experiencing a mental health crisis.

The statement continued: “Perez’s condition remains serious but stable. He experienced significant blood loss and sustained additional injuries that will require surgery in the coming days. His treatment and recovery will be a long process. We are grateful that Perez was able to spend time with his mother and sister yesterday.

“As our family remains focused on Perez’s treatment and recovery, we also need the space and privacy to care for everyone affected by this situation.”

In a statement last week, his family added they are going through an “incredibly difficult time” right now, and explained his three kids “fled” the house, “just minutes” before the disturbing video happened.

“The events of the past several days have been nearly unbearable for our family,” it was explained. “Just minutes before the public livestream incident, Perez’s children, niece, and sister were inside the home. When it became clear that Perez was experiencing a severe mental health crisis and harming himself, they immediately fled to protect the children from witnessing any further trauma.

“Our highest priority right now is helping the children begin to heal from what they experienced. An important part of that process is allowing them to safely return home and begin rebuilding a sense of security and normalcy.”
