The family and team of Hilton, whose real name is Mario Lavandeira, posted to Hilton\u2019s website<\/a> on Wednesday (5 July). Their statement outlined that Hilton is \u201creceiving medical care\u201d and that he \u201cis able to communicate.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Tuesday (4 July) emergency services were called to the 48-year-old\u2019s Miami home after it was reported a man was \u201clivestreaming acts of self-harm on social media\u201d. He was transported to a nearby hospital for medical treatment.<\/p>\n

The BBC reported<\/a> that while TikTok\u2019s moderation systems flagged the livestream, a moderator error delayed its removal. A TikTok spokesperson added the company alerted law enforcement to the situation, closed several subsequent streams within 90 seconds, and banned the account.<\/p>\n

In April, Hilton was hospitalised for 21 days<\/a> for severe sepsis and a subsequent emergency admission<\/a> for a deep vein thrombosis that required surgery.<\/p>\n

\u2018Perez is able to communicate, which has given our family hope\u2019<\/p>\n

The full statement from Hilton\u2019s family and team reads: \u201cMany of you have reached out with concern for Perez, and we are incredibly grateful for the overwhelming outpouring of love, support, and prayers.<\/p>\n
