Perez Hilton at the inaugural Not Alone Awards on Nov. 11, 2025 David Becker/Getty Images Perez Hilton is undergoing medical care after he appeared to physically harm himself on a TikTok livestream, his family and team confirmed in a statement. “We can confirm that Perez is receiving medical care, and our family’s focus right now is on his well-being,” a new post on the official Perez Hilton website reads. “We kindly ask that you respect Perez’s privacy, as well as the privacy of his family, during this difficult time.”
The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office initially stated that Hilton was “safely recovered” and transported to a local hospital following the incident. On the evening of Aug. 4, the Sheriff’s Office responded to multiple calls regarding an individual who was livestreaming acts of self-harm on social media. Hilton was alone in his residence at the time of the incident. Additional details have not been made available by police or Hilton’s family, who shared, “If and when we are able to share any updates, we will do so with everyone as soon as we can.”
According to a TikTok spokesperson, the platform’s moderators flagged the livestream shortly after Hilton went live and alerted local law enforcement. It remains unclear how long the celebrity blogger was live on the platform before the stream was disabled, though the spokesperson indicated it was less than 15 minutes. After the livestream was shut down, TikTok banned Hilton’s account for violating TikTok’s community guidelines, which prohibit content that could be considered shocking or graphic. “We don’t allow anything extremely gory, disturbing, or violent, especially when it could cause psychological harm,” TikTok’s policy reads.
