Florida law enforcement rushed to the home of media personality Perez Hilton Tuesday night following reports that the gossip blogger appeared to be repeatedly cutting himself and engaging in self-harm during a TikTok livestream.
According to The Sun, viewers who watched the livestream contacted emergency services after Hilton appeared to harm himself on camera.
Disturbing and graphic videos on social media, which The Daily Wire is not publishing, appear to show Hilton, the longtime chronicler of Hollywood scandals, bloodied from head to toe.
The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office confirmed it received numerous calls about the incident.
“The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office received multiple calls regarding an individual who was live-streaming acts of self-harm on social media,” the agency said in a statement to The Sun. “Deputies quickly located the individual’s residence, where they spoke with family members on scene, and confirmed he was alone inside.”
The sheriff’s office said deputies opted to use de-escalation tactics rather than immediately enter the residence.
“At this time, deputies have tactically disengaged while continuing to monitor the situation,” the sheriff’s office said.
Hilton, 48, rose to fame in the 2000s through his celebrity gossip website before expanding into television and other media. He is the father of three children.
