Perez Hilton's family pleads for privacy for his kids after crisis

Perez Hilton's family has revealed that his children were home when his mental health crisis began to unfold, and now they're asking the media for space so the family can safely return home. In a statement published on the celebrity blogger's website on Thursday, Hilton's family said the events of the last several days had been "nearly unbearable." "Just minutes before the public livestream incident, Perez’s children, niece, and sister were inside the home," the statement read. "When it became clear that Perez was experiencing a severe mental health crisis and harming himself, they immediately fled to protect the children from witnessing any further trauma." On Tuesday night, Miami police responded to an influx of calls after a disturbing video was livestreamed on TikTok in which a bloodied Hilton harmed himself repeatedly with a box cutter and knife.
