Perez Hilton Needs Surgery After Experiencing Blood Loss During Livestream

“Perez’s children remain safe and are being cared for by immediate family,” they continued. “Please allow them and the rest of the family the peace and privacy they desperately need during this incredibly difficult time.”

Police were dispatched to Hilton’s Miami home on the night of Aug. 4 after he went on a TikTok livestream where he appeared to be covered in blood while holding what seemed to be a knife.

Police said they eventually were able to make contact with a person, later confirmed to be Hilton, inside the residence, noting that he had “been safely recovered and transported by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue to a local hospital, where he is receiving medical attention.”

Following the incident, Hilton’s rep made a plea regarding the public’s sensitivity to the situation. 

“Our focus remains on Perez’s health, recovery and the privacy of both him and his family during this incredibly difficult time,” Hilton’s agent Dante Rusciolelli told Us Weekly Aug. 5. “We respectfully ask that everyone continue to honor his privacy while he receives the care he needs.”
