The family of Perez Hilton has shared an update on his condition. This comes months after the well-known blogger, whose real name is Mario Armando Lavandiera Jr., appeared to self-harm during a livestream.
On November 3, a statement on Hilton’s website revealed that he is making progress. The incident occurred in August, but since then, Hilton, 48, has been able to spend quality time with his three children. He has transitioned to a partial hospitalization program and currently resides in supportive housing. Hilton continues to receive mental health care.
“It’s been three months since our family began navigating this difficult time,” the family stated. “While it hasn’t been easy, we’re grateful to have some positive news to share about Perez’s recovery.”
The incident that led to Hilton’s hospitalization happened on August 4. He conducted a TikTok livestream during which viewers became concerned and contacted Miami-Dade officers in Florida. As a result, Hilton was taken to the hospital. His family reported he suffered significant blood loss and required surgery.
This story is ongoing and will be updated as further information becomes available.
