Extent of Perez Hilton’s ‘lifelong disfigurement’ becomes clear, as he may be in hospital for months

More details have been revealed regarding the injuries Perez Hilton now has following the TikTok live incident, and how long his recovery may be. The celebrity blogger went live on TikTok earlier this month, and appeared to be graphically self-harming in his home.

In the video he shared, the father of three could be seen with a knife, making cuts to his body and face. It’s since been reported that he now has extensive injuries, has lost a significant amount of blood, and could be hospitalised for months.

The Daily Mail has reported he may be hospitalised in a psychiatric unit for up to six months, and may have been left with “lifelong disfigurement” following the incident. Perez is likely to have permanent scarring from his multiple wounds, a source told the publication.

“Perez knows that something happened and he knows that things aren’t good right now,” a friend said. “But he doesn’t have a lot of presence of mind. He’s not able to fully process what happened.”

The source said his recovery is likely to be months not days, and added: “This is not going to be something where in five days, I’m like, ‘he’s fine,’ this is months, maybe years.”

The publication has claimed Perez won’t be sent home once discharged from hospital, and will instead be sent to a psychiatric unit, where he will be monitored by mental health specialists.

In a previous update, his family said: “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.”

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. 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.”
