  "account": "The family of Perez Hilton, the celebrity blogger, has requested privacy following his hospitalization due to a self-harm incident. In a statement on his website, Hilton's family and team expressed gratitude for the support they have received, stating that they are currently focused on their loved one's well-being. They have asked the public to respect his and his family's privacy during this challenging time, with updates to follow once they are able to share them. The incident occurred after a TikTok livestream in which Hilton appeared to harm himself. Law enforcement was called to Hilton's home in Miami after multiple calls from concerned viewers. His TikTok account was subsequently suspended. Hilton's managers, Dante Rusciolelli and Rebekah Kochan, confirmed they have not been able to contact him directly and have stated that their primary concern is his health and his family's well-being. Hilton, whose real name is Mario Lavandeira, gained fame in the 2000s through his popular gossip blog, PerezHilton.com. In March, he announced that he had been hospitalized for three weeks due to an ulcer and sepsis, crediting his hospitalization to a spiritual experience.",
