In early August 2026, celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, known to many by his birth name Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr., was hospitalized following a distressing incident during a live broadcast.
On Tuesday, August 4, viewers watching Hilton’s TikTok livestream grew concerned as he appeared to be in significant mental distress, leading to multiple calls to local emergency services.
Deputies from the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office arrived at his home, confirmed his safety, and transported him to a local medical facility for evaluation.
In response to the broadcast, TikTok took swift action, ending the stream and banning his account.
Hilton’s family and representatives have requested privacy during this difficult time, emphasizing that their focus remains on his health.
This event follows a challenging year for Hilton, who had previously faced serious medical issues, including a battle with sepsis and emergency surgery earlier in 2026.
