What We Know About Perez Hilton Hospitalization: Surgery Needed After ‘Significant Blood Loss’ - forbes.com

Celebrity gossip blogger Perez Hilton, whose real name is Mario Lavandeira, is in "serious but stable" condition in a hospital and requires surgery after suffering "significant blood loss" and "additional injuries," according to a family statement issued Saturday.
Hilton was hospitalized late Tuesday following an apparent mental health crisis during a TikTok livestream, in which he appeared covered in blood and to be self-harming while viewers urged him in the comments to stop.
The Miami-Dade County Sheriff's Office confirmed he was taken to a hospital after fans placed multiple police calls, and authorities said they spoke with family members on scene and confirmed Hilton was alone inside before de-escalating the situation.
In a statement posted to Hilton's blog Thursday, his team and family said his children, niece, and sister were home "just minutes before" the incident and fled to shield the children from witnessing further trauma.
The family said their "highest priority" is helping his children heal and asked media and paparazzi to leave the area around his home, describing his recovery as a "long process."
Earlier statements noted Hilton was "able to communicate," which gave the family hope, though they said little information had been made available to them; the home was reportedly located in Miami-Dade County's Westchester neighborhood.
