Perez Hilton\u2019s<\/a> family has revealed that his children were home when his mental health crisis<\/a> began to unfold, and now they\u2019re asking the media for space so the family can safely return home. <\/p>\n

In a statement<\/a> published on the celebrity blogger\u2019s website on Thursday, Hilton\u2019s family said the events of the last several days had been \u201cnearly unbearable.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJust minutes before the public livestream incident, Perez\u2019s children, niece, and sister were inside the home,\u201d the statement read. \u201cWhen it became clear that Perez was experiencing a severe mental health crisis and harming himself, they immediately fled to protect the children from witnessing any further trauma.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Tuesday night, Miami police responded to an influx of calls after a disturbing video was livestreamed on TikTok in which a bloodied Hilton harmed himself repeatedly with a box cutter and knife. Frightened fans and moderators from the social platform were among those who called authorities. <\/p>\n

After surrounding Hilton\u2019s Miami residence, the Miami-Dade Sheriff\u2019s Office said around 9 p.m. that he had been \u201csafely recovered and transported by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue to a local hospital, where he is receiving medical attention.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the family\u2019s statement on Thursday, they said that their highest priority right now was helping Hilton\u2019s three children and niece \u201cbegin to heal from what they experienced.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cAn important part of that process is allowing them to safely return home and begin rebuilding a sense of security and normalcy,\u201d the statement continued. \u201cFor the children\u2019s safety, privacy, and well-being, we respectfully ask members of the media, paparazzi, content creators, and the public to leave the area surrounding the family\u2019s home and not return. Please allow his children the privacy and space they need during this unimaginably difficult time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hilton\u2019s family also shared that, although very little information on Perez\u2019s condition has been provided to them, they had been able to confirm that he \u201cis able to communicate,\u201d which they say has given them hope during \u201cthis heartbreaking time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier Thursday, conservative political commentator Sean Hannity released an episode<\/a> featuring Hilton that was recorded in recent weeks. During the \u201cHang Out\u201d podcast episode, Hilton expressed regret over disparaging attacks he made on the celebrities he covered over the course of his career. <\/p>\n

\u201cI have a lot of regrets,\u201d he told Hannity. \u201cAttention is like a drug, and I was definitely an attention addict back then. I mean, I still am, but I think now I do a better job of keeping it in check. And when you\u2019re an addict, you don\u2019t care if you\u2019re hurting people.\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u201cOG influencer\u201d said that he attempted to make amends with some of the celebrities he targeted, including Britney Spears and Khlo\u00e9 Kardashian, whom he said were receptive to his apologies. He also privately approached Neil Patrick Harris to apologize for aggressively trying to out him as a gay man in 2006, before the actor had spoken about his sexuality publicly. Harris also accepted the mea culpa.<\/p>\n

Hilton said that he had changed his ways. \u201cI realized what I was doing was wrong \u2014 that I could still be fun \u2014 but I don\u2019t have to be so cheap, and I don\u2019t have to be so cruel. It was cruel, and it\u2019s something that I carry with me.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s like my scarlet letter, and it\u2019s very heavy baggage.\u201d<\/p>\n

In March, Hilton was hospitalized for severe sepsis for 21 days. During the ordeal, he said that God presented himself to him. Perez claimed that he\u2019d changed dramatically since the health scare. In recent months, he\u2019s posted about the Bible, launched a religious merch line and spoken about his religious awakening on the podcast circuit. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Perez Hilton\u2019s family has revealed that his children were home when his mental health crisis began to unfold,…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":985988,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[9],"tags":[395490,395489,115,171,3404,246,115316,16430,16899,304472,42310,121460,173681,783,11004,2450,67,132,68],"class_list":["post-985987","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-celebrity-blogger","tag-child-privacy","tag-crisis","tag-entertainment","tag-episode","tag-family","tag-hilton","tag-medium","tag-mental-health-crisis","tag-niece","tag-paparazzi","tag-perez-hilton","tag-regret","tag-space","tag-statement","tag-thursday","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/117052267980582706","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/985987","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=985987"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/985987\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/985988"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=985987"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=985987"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=985987"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
