Perez Hilton has been taken to hospital after authorities responded to multiple emergency calls prompted by a concerning livestream shared on social media.<\/p>\n

The celebrity blogger, whose real name is Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr., was transported to a local Miami hospital on Tuesday evening after deputies were called to his home following reports from viewers who were worried about his wellbeing during a TikTok livestream.<\/p>\n

In a statement provided to People<\/a>, the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office confirmed deputies responded after receiving “multiple” calls regarding an individual who appeared to be in crisis.<\/p>\n

According to officials, deputies spoke with family members at the scene and confirmed Hilton was alone inside the property before adopting a de-escalation approach.<\/p>\n

“In many incidents involving a person experiencing a mental health crisis or actively harming themselves, deputies prioritize de-escalation by creating time, distance, and opportunities for communication,” the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office said.<\/p>\n

“Unless there is an immediate threat to others, slowing the situation and utilizing crisis intervention techniques can reduce the likelihood of a suicide-by-cop encounter and minimize the risk of injury to the individual, deputies, and the public.”<\/p>\n

Authorities later confirmed Perez had been “safely recovered” and transported by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue to a local hospital, where he was receiving medical attention.<\/p>\n
