Perez Hilton remains hospitalized in Florida after a recent self-harm incident, with his team now confirming that he suffered significant blood loss and will need surgery.
In an update shared on Perez Hilton’s official website, his team said the 48-year-old blogger also suffered additional injuries. His condition is described as “serious but stable,” while his treatment and recovery are expected to take time.
Hilton is still hospitalized under Florida’s Baker Act, which allows a person to be held for mental health care when they are considered a danger to themselves or others. His team also said his communication has been very limited and is currently restricted to immediate family, medical providers and people involved in his care.
Hilton’s team said he “experienced significant blood loss and sustained additional injuries that will require surgery in the coming days.”
The update did not provide further details about the injuries or say exactly when the surgery will take place. His condition remains serious but stable, and his team described recovery as a long process.
The latest statement also comes after Hilton was taken to a hospital following a TikTok livestream on Tuesday, August 4. The livestream showed him harming himself, prompting viewers to contact authorities.
His team said the restrictions surrounding his hospitalization have made communication difficult. As a result, they asked people to rely on official updates rather than unconfirmed information about his condition.
The family has also asked for privacy while Hilton receives treatment. His team said he was able to spend time with his mother and sister on Friday.
Hilton’s three children are safe and are being cared for by immediate family, according to his team.
In the latest statement, Hilton’s team said, “Please allow them and the rest of the family the peace and privacy they desperately need during this incredibly difficult time.”
The team added, “Thank you for your continued support, compassion, and understanding.”
The update said further information about Hilton’s condition will be shared through PerezHilton.com when his family has more details that can be made public.
