Perez Hilton hospitalized after self-harm livestream incident.

Miami-Dade deputies responded Tuesday night to Perez Hilton's home after viewers reported he appeared to be harming himself on a TikTok livestream. He was later transported to a local hospital.

Multiple 911 calls reported an individual livestreaming acts of self-harm on social media.
Deputies found Hilton, 48, alone inside his Miami residence.
The TikTok livestream, later taken down, appeared to show him using a knife.
His representatives said they had not been able to reach him directly.

Why it matters: Deputies used crisis intervention techniques, prioritizing de-escalation over immediate entry to reduce risk of injury.

The Miami-Dade Crisis Response Unit and licensed mental health professionals provided on-scene support to his family.
