Perez Hilton's family has issued a public statement requesting privacy and respect for his children after the celebrity blogger was hospitalized following a TikTok livestream in which he appeared to self-harm. The family revealed that Hilton's children, niece, and sister were in the home moments before the incident and fled to prevent further trauma. The statement, posted on Hilton's website, thanks supporters for their prayers and emphasizes the priority of helping the children heal and return to normalcy. It also calls on media, paparazzi, and content creators to stay away from the family home. Hilton, a father of three (ages 13, 11, and 8), has faced multiple health issues this year, including severe sepsis and deep vein thrombosis. A previous family update confirmed Hilton is able to communicate and is recovering.
