US celebrity blogger Perez Hilton is recovering in hospital after members of the public reported that he appeared to self-harm during a TikTok livestream from his Miami home. Emergency services, including a crisis response unit and mental health professionals, attended the scene on Tuesday, and the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office confirmed the individual was "safely recovered" and taken for medical treatment. The incident has prompted concern from fans and his management team, highlighting ongoing public attention around the wellbeing of high-profile online figures.

Hilton, real name Mario Lavandeira, was reportedly home alone during the livestream, and his TikTok account was suspended shortly afterwards. Police said deputies deliberately "tactically disengaged" while continuing to monitor the situation, a de-escalation approach used to reduce risk during mental health crises. Hilton's managers said they had been unable to reach him directly but were focused on his and his family's wellbeing; he rose to fame in the 2000s for his gossip website but has since said he regrets some of the harsher commentary of his early career.
