The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office received multiple calls regarding an individual who was livestreaming acts of self-harm on social media.

Deputies located Hilton’s residence and confirmed he was alone. In such cases, deputies prioritize de-escalation, creating time and opportunities for communication to reduce risks. They aim to minimize the likelihood of a harmful encounter and reduce injury risks to everyone involved. Deputies have tactically disengaged while continuing to support Hilton’s family from a distance.

A source told Fox News Digital that Hilton was placed under psychiatric hold under the Baker Act with superficial wounds noted. The Florida Baker Act allows involuntary mental health evaluations when legal criteria are met. This evaluation usually lasts up to 72 hours.

Hilton, also known as Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr., became a popular figure in the mid-2000s with his celebrity gossip website. He has recently shared personal changes, emphasizing how parenthood has influenced him. Earlier in the year, Hilton was hospitalized for severe sepsis and complications from the flu. Following emergency surgery, he spoke about spiritual revelations during recovery.

God presented himself to me and then did something. Something I can only call miraculous… it was real, and this has been life-changing.

Hilton expressed apologies for past public mistakes and shared a commitment to improving his behavior, indicating that reconnecting with religious teachings offered profound changes for his outlook and relationships with others.

He acknowledged past actions driven by selfishness and the pursuit of attention, noting changing perceptions and receiving less negativity lately. Hilton emphasized changing behaviors today and tomorrow as crucial for improvement, highlighting that his experience with God had been transformative.
