‘Truly unimaginable’: Perez Hilton’s inner circle gives an update

The people in Perez Hilton’s inner circle are giving a glimpse into his condition after his disturbing livestream Tuesday night that indicated self-harm.

The celebrity blogger was hospitalized after appearing in an alarming TikTok live at his Westchester house. The 48-year-old moved back home to South Florida with his mother and three school-age kids from Las Vegas a little under two months ago.

Miami-Dade deputies were dispatched to the home around 7 p.m. Tuesday after multiple 911 calls came in from people watching his 30-minute plus TikTok Live.

Hilton’s team released an initial statement on his eponymous website with few details, just that he was receiving “medical care.” Hours later came another message explaining that they were having trouble finding out and were pretty much in the dark as well.

TMZ reports the ‘TMI” author is under a 72-hour psychiatric hold under the Baker Act. Also known as the Florida Mental Health Act, it focuses on crisis services for people who present a risk to themselves or others.

“This has been incredibly difficult and emotional for us, made even harder because very little information has been made available to our family,” they wrote, adding that Hilton is “able to communicate,” which is giving them “hope.”

The message ended by asking for “continued prayers, understanding and grace as Perez continues to recover.”

It’s unclear who is sending out these online notes, but Hilton’s younger sister Barbara Lavandeira was photographed outside her famous brother’s barricaded house Wednesday, asking police how to get inside, Page Six reports. Hilton has often talked about how much the fellow Miami native helped him during his lengthy hospital stay from sepsis and other health issues he suffered in March.

Also on Wednesday, Chris Booker, co-host of “The Perez Hilton Podcast,” shared some words about his friend. The last time the men did a show together was July 26, gossiping about everyone from Ariana Grande to Giulana Rancic.

“I am so profoundly sad for Perez and his family and what they’re all going through,” the radio vet wrote on Instagram. “It’s truly unimaginable.”
