Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton was hospitalized Tuesday after appearing to harm himself during a livestream from his Florida home, prompting a response from the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.
A video viewed by The Western Journal showed Hilton appearing to cut himself with a large knife in multiple places on his body before ending the livestream.
ABC News reported that multiple callers to police had viewed the apparent acts of self-harm live on TikTok.
Police quickly responded to the scene.
The sheriff’s office said deputies spoke with family members and “tactically disengaged while continuing to monitor the situation.”
The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office said deputies gave the 48-year-old space in order to not make the situation worse.
“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 in a statement.
“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.”
Variety later reported the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office confirmed Hilton was safely transported from his home to a local hospital, where he is receiving medical attention.
