Perez Hilton hospitalized after reports he livestreamed self-harm, sheriff’s officials say - NBC News

Perez Hilton was “receiving medical care” Wednesday, the celebrity blogger and podcaster’s team and family said, after police responded to his Miami-area home following reports that he appeared to engage in self-harm during a livestream. A spokesperson for the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office told NBC News that deputies responded to reports Tuesday night of someone “who was livestreaming acts of self-harm on social media.” The statement, sent via email in response to an inquiry about Hilton, did not name him. In a follow-up statement, the sheriff’s office said the person was “safely recovered” and taken by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue to a hospital, where he was receiving medical attention. Deputies also spoke to family members at the scene, who confirmed the person had been alone inside the residence, the sheriff’s office added.
