Perez Hilton Hospitalized in Serious Condition, Mother Granted Temporary Custody

Perez Hilton remains in serious but stable condition after being treated for an overdose and multiple lacerations sustained during a TikTok livestream of self-harm, and a court order has placed his three children under the temporary custody of his mother while he recovers. Police said multiple 911 calls prompted law-enforcement and fire-rescue teams to enter his Miami home, where he was found alone and transported to a local hospital where the Florida Baker Act was applied. His family asked the media to respect their privacy and later clarified that his children, niece and sister had left the house shortly before the incident.

Friends expressed concern that the hospitalization might feed his attention-seeking behavior, and his lawyer emphasized that the priority is the safety and stability of the children. The case has sparked debate over TikTok’s moderation of self-harm content.
