Police respond to Perez Hilton’s home after he appeared to harm himself on livestream


Law enforcement in Miami responded to the home of Perez Hilton on Tuesday after receiving multiple calls claiming the media personality was “livestreaming acts of self-harm on social media.”

The livestreamed TikTok allegedly appeared to show him harming himself with a knife and making apparent cuts on his body, with a bloody torso and face.

The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office said in a statement that deputies spoke with his family members on scene and “tactically disengaged while continuing to monitor the situation.”

“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 sheriff’s office said, adding this tacitc can reduce “suicide-by-cop encounter and minimize the risk of injury to the individual, deputies, and the public.”

Perez Hilton’s representatives, Golden Artists Entertainment, released a statement saying, “We are aware of the concerning content circulating online involving our client.”

“At this time, we have not been able to make direct contact with him, despite our ongoing efforts to reach him. Our primary concern is Perez’s health and well being, as well as the well being of his family,” the statement added.

ABC News has reached out to TikTok for a comment.
