Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton was hospitalized on August 4, 2026, following a disturbing livestream on TikTok in which he appeared to self-harm. Viewers of the livestream promptly alerted authorities, leading Miami-Dade County Sheriff’s deputies to respond to Hilton’s home in the Westchester neighborhood of Miami. Upon arrival, deputies confirmed Hilton was alone inside before he was transported to a local hospital for evaluation and treatment.
A police report indicates that first responders treated Hilton for multiple lacerations and an overdose at his Miami-area home before his transport to a hospital. Hilton’s sister, Barbara Lavandeira, described finding him in the bathroom, “naked, cut up, covered in blood, with a box cutter in his hand.” She immediately took his three children out of the house and called 911. Family statements confirmed Hilton suffered “significant blood loss” and other injuries requiring surgery.
As of August 17, 2026, Hilton remains hospitalized and is receiving inpatient care from a team of medical and mental health professionals. His family stated that his recovery would be “a long process” and confirmed that his mother, Teresita Lavandeira, filed for temporary custody of his three children on August 7. TikTok has since banned Hilton’s account, though a spokesperson noted a moderator error caused a delay in the livestream’s removal. Hilton, whose birth name is Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr., previously discussed being hospitalized for sepsis in March 2026, an experience he said brought him closer to God.
