Perez Hilton's family share he is in a "serious but stable" condition after self-harming on TikTok

Perez Hilton is in a "serious but stable" condition after self-harming in a TikTok livestream.

The 48-year-old celebrity gossip blogger was hospitalised in Florida earlier this week following the disturbing livestream and his loved ones have confirmed that he will "require surgery" for his injuries and faces a "long" recovery process.

A statement shared on Hilton's website on Saturday (08.08.26) read: "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."

Perez's family clarified that the only credible updates about his health will be published on his website PerezHilton.com.

They said: "His communication has been extremely limited and confined to immediate family, medical providers, and others directly involved in his care. He has not communicated with the media or issued any public statements."

Hilton's family have requested privacy as the blogger - whose real name is Mario Lavandeira Jr - continues his recovery and have asked both the media and public to stay away from his Miami property.

The statement said: "We respectfully ask members of the media, paparazzi, content creators, and the public to leave the area surrounding the family's home and not return."
