Police were called to Perez Hilton's Miami home on 4 August 2026 after the celebrity gossip blogger appeared to harm himself during a TikTok livestream, and he has since been taken to hospital for treatment. NBC6 reporters at the scene saw a man believed to be Hilton being placed in an ambulance, and the Miami-Dade County Sheriff's Office confirmed to TMZ that "the individual has been safely recovered and transported by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue to a local hospital, where he is receiving medical attention."

Graphic clips circulating on social media showed Hilton, appearing manic and covered in blood, repeatedly cutting himself with an object, prompting the sheriff's office to send deputies after receiving "multiple calls" about the livestream. Deputies confirmed Hilton was alone in the property and spoke with family at the scene before initially opting to "tactically disengage" and monitor the situation, a de-escalation approach the force said reduces the risk of a "suicide-by-cop" encounter. The incident follows Hilton's disclosure earlier this year that he had spent three weeks in hospital battling flu-related complications, including an ulcer, a perforation and sepsis.
