Perez Hilton in Serious but Stable Condition as Family Updates on Hospitalization and Upcoming Surgery

Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton remains hospitalized after a mental health crisis earlier this week, with his family describing his condition as “serious but stable.” The entertainer, whose real name is Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr., suffered significant blood loss and sustained injuries that will require surgery in the coming days, according to a statement from his family.

Hilton continues to receive treatment at a Florida hospital. His communication remains severely limited and currently involves only immediate family members, medical staff and others directly involved in his care. His family also stressed that Hilton has not spoken with media outlets about the situation.

The latest family update confirms that Florida authorities continue to hold Hilton under the Baker Act. The law allows authorities to temporarily hold people experiencing serious mental health crises for evaluation when they may pose a danger to themselves or others.

Although Hilton’s condition remains stable, his family said he lost a substantial amount of blood and suffered injuries that doctors will need to treat surgically. They expect his recovery to take considerable time and have urged the public and media to respect his privacy throughout the process.

Hilton’s mother and sister have visited him in the hospital. Meanwhile, relatives are caring for his three children, who remain safe. His family has also asked members of the media not to gather outside their home or publish photographs of the children.

The hospitalization followed a troubling TikTok livestream from Hilton’s Miami home that appeared to show him engaging in self-harm. Emergency responders arrived at the residence and took Hilton to a hospital, where he has remained under medical care.

The incident quickly drew concern from his followers and sparked widespread discussion online. In response, Hilton’s family and representatives urged people not to share graphic footage or speculate about his condition.

TikTok said its systems flagged the livestream. The platform subsequently removed additional broadcasts and disabled Hilton’s account.

His family has also pushed back against misinformation surrounding the incident. They have directed the public to statements published through PerezHilton.com for verified updates about his condition.

The latest crisis follows several serious health challenges Hilton faced earlier this year. He spent weeks in the hospital after developing sepsis and an ulcer. He later revealed that doctors had discovered a major blood clot, which required emergency surgery.

Despite those setbacks, Hilton continued producing entertainment coverage, recording his podcast and maintaining his online platforms. He also recently moved back to Miami with his family after spending several years in Las Vegas.

For now, Hilton’s family says his medical treatment and recovery remain the top priorities. They continue to ask the public to respect his privacy as he begins what they expect will be a lengthy recovery.
