Perez Hilton family says he is 'able to communicate'

Perez Hilton's family have revealed that he can communicate following his hospital admission. Emergency responders were at his Miami residence on Tuesday after witnessing him self-harm in a TikTok live stream. The family statement expressed that they have been experiencing an incredibly difficult time and have confirmed that Perez can communicate, which has brought them hope.

They respectfully requested continued prayers, understanding, and grace as he recovers, promising to share more updates as they receive confirmed information. The family is focusing on Perez's recovery for now and appreciates the public's compassionate support during this heartbreaking period. The Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office confirmed they attended a self-harm livestream scene but did not identify Hilton.

The 2000s celebrity gossip blogger gained fame under his pseudonym, referencing Paris Hilton, though his attitude and outing of gay celebrities received criticism. His blog popularity waned, leading him to pursue reality TV appearances and father three children via surrogate.
