Sunday, August 9, 2026 - Perez Hilton remains hospitalized in serious but stable condition following a mental-health crisis that unfolded during a livestream on August 4, his family said in a new update.
The 48-year-old celebrity blogger suffered significant blood loss and injuries and is expected to require surgery as doctors continue treating him. His family said he remains under Florida’s Baker Act for mental-health evaluation and that his recovery is expected to be lengthy.
Hilton has been able to communicate with close family and medical staff, giving his loved ones hope as they remain focused on his treatment.
His three children are safe and being cared for by relatives, while the family has strongly asked the public and media to respect their privacy. They also stressed that official updates about his condition will come through PerezHilton.com as the family manages the situation.
The incident has also renewed attention on how social-media platforms handle livestreamed mental-health emergencies. TikTok said a moderation error delayed action on Hilton’s livestream, and his account has since been banned.
For now, his family is urging compassion and privacy while Hilton begins what they describe as a long recovery, with his medical care and wellbeing taking priority over further public appearances.
