Perez Hilton’s family has finally given an update on his condition after he appeared to self-harm during a livestream from his residence in Miami earlier this week.
On Saturday, August 8, a statement was shared on his eponymous website by his family that read, “There are many false and inaccurate reports circulating in the media regarding Perez and the circumstances surrounding this situation.”
“We want to confirm that Perez remains hospitalized under Florida’s Baker Act,” they stated, alluding to the legal move that allows judges, authorities, or medical professionals to hold an individual for a mental health evaluation for up to 72 hours.
“His communication has been extremely limited and confined to immediate family, medical providers and others directly involved in his care,” the post added. “He has not communicated with the media or issued any public statements.”
“The only statements regarding Perez that should be considered credible and authorized are those published directly on PerezHilton.com. Perez’s condition remains serious but stable.”
“He experienced significant blood loss and sustained additional injuries that will require surgery in the coming days. His treatment and recovery will be a long process. We are grateful that Perez was able to spend time with his mother and sister yesterday,” it explained.
The family concluded the statement, saying that they have now shifted their focus on “Perez’s treatment and recovery. We also need the space and privacy to care for everyone affected by this situation.”
It is pertinent to mention that local were called to Perez Hilton’s home in Miami following the reports of a “suicide attempt,” according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office (MDSO).
