Miami, Florida - Perez Hilton has been hospitalized after appearing to harm himself during a concerning TikTok livestream.
According to People, the 48-year-old blogger was transported to a hospital after the Miami-Dade County Sheriff's Office was dispatched to his home on Tuesday.
Deputies arrived at Perez's home after he shared a disturbing livestream during which he was seemingly covered in blood and appeared to be cutting himself.
Fans placed numerous calls to the MDSCO, and upon arrival, police found the media personality, who is a father of three, alone inside the residence.
The Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Crisis Response Unit and licensed mental health professionals were also at the scene and helped with transporting Perez to a nearby hospital.
A rep for the MDSCO shared, "In many incidents involving a person experiencing a mental health crisis or actively harming themselves, deputies prioritize de-escalation by creating time, distance, and opportunities for communication."
"Unless there is an immediate threat to others, slowing the situation and utilizing crisis intervention techniques can reduce the likelihood of a suicide-by-cop encounter and minimize the risk of injury to the individual, deputies, and the public," the statement continued. "We appreciate everyone's concern and ask that his privacy be respected during this time."
