Perez Hilton’s first words after being taken to a Miami hospital following a disturbing livestream have reportedly been revealed — and the brief statement he made to his mother has offered a deeply emotional glimpse into what happened after the cameras stopped rolling.
According to a report cited by Page Six, Hilton’s first words from his hospital bed were reportedly, “I need help.” The 48-year-old celebrity blogger was said to be stable and alert and able to communicate with his mother, Teresita Lavandeira, although a source described him as still being in a very dark mental state.
The revelation comes days after Hilton was hospitalized following a TikTok livestream that appeared to show him harming himself. Police were called to his Miami home after multiple reports, and authorities eventually transported him safely to a local hospital for medical treatment.
For his family, the situation has been especially devastating because the crisis reportedly appeared to come without an obvious warning. A source told the Daily Mail that Hilton had seemed normal earlier that day and had even been excited about upcoming projects. There was reportedly no single event that immediately explained the sudden deterioration.
Behind the scenes, however, Hilton had been dealing with a difficult period. He had recently moved his family from Las Vegas to Miami, faced serious medical problems earlier in the year and accumulated substantial medical bills. Friends also described him as feeling overwhelmed by the pressure of providing for his family.
The livestream itself was eventually removed after roughly 15 to 20 minutes, with TikTok later attributing the delay in removing it to a moderator error. By then, emergency responders were already on their way to Hilton’s home.
His family has since emphasized that their priority is his recovery and the emotional wellbeing of his three children. They have also asked the public to respect the family’s privacy while Hilton remains under medical care.
Perhaps the most haunting detail is that, according to the source, Hilton had been looking forward to the future just hours before everything changed. What happened between that seemingly normal day and the moment he told his mother, “I need help,” remains one of the most troubling unanswered questions surrounding the crisis.
