Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, whose legal name is Mario Armando Lavandeira, was hospitalized on Tuesday night after a TikTok live-stream in which he appeared to be self-harming. Police were dispatched to his Florida home following multiple calls from concerned viewers. He was transported to a nearby hospital, where he received medical attention and care from mental health professionals at the Crisis Response Unit. The Miami-Dade County Sheriff's Office confirmed the response and emphasized the use of de-escalation techniques in such incidents. Hilton, known for his controversial celebrity blog in the 2000s, later sought to change his public image. He has faced recent health struggles, including hospitalization for severe sepsis in March and deep vein thrombosis. He is a father to three children.
