Perez Hilton’s family gives update on celebrity …

Perez Hilton’s family has shared an emotional update on the celebrity blogger’s condition following his devastating mental health crisis earlier this month.

Hilton, whose real name is Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr., was hospitalized on August 4 after he appeared to harm himself during a TikTok livestream. The disturbing broadcast prompted viewers to contact authorities, who responded to his Miami home and took him to a hospital for medical treatment. (People.com⁠)

Now, Hilton’s sister, Barbara Lavandeira, has spoken publicly about his condition and the difficult road ahead.

In an emotional interview, Barbara revealed that her brother remains hospitalized and continues to receive treatment for both his physical injuries and mental health. She described the situation as extremely difficult for their family and emphasized that his recovery will not happen overnight. (Page Six⁠)

“His physical and mental recovery is going to take a lot of time, but we remain hopeful,” the family has said, according to reports.

Hilton reportedly suffered significant blood loss and injuries that required surgery after the incident. He remains under medical care while his doctors and loved ones focus on his recovery. His family has also asked the public to respect their privacy during this painful period. (People.com⁠)

Barbara also described the shock of discovering her brother in serious distress. She said the experience was deeply traumatic for everyone involved, particularly because Hilton’s children were also affected by the crisis. The family has been working to protect the children while making sure Hilton receives the support he needs.

The blogger’s recent struggles have come after a particularly difficult year. Before the August 4 incident, Hilton had experienced serious health problems, including a battle with sepsis and a blood clot. His sister also revealed that he had voluntarily sought treatment for severe depression just weeks before the livestream. (Page Six⁠)

The family has urged people to show compassion rather than focus on Hilton’s controversial past. Barbara has defended her brother against harsh comments online, saying he had been making efforts to change and become a better person. (People.com⁠)

For now, Hilton’s loved ones remain focused on his healing. His return home is uncertain, and his recovery is expected to be a long process.

Despite the seriousness of his condition, his family says they are hopeful. They are asking fans and the public to give Hilton the time, privacy and support he needs as he continues receiving treatment.

The family’s latest message makes one thing clear: the road ahead may be long, but they are standing by him throughout his recovery.
