Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, 48, was rushed to a Miami-area hospital after he was seen covered in blood during a TikTok livestream on Tuesday evening. The Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office confirmed it received numerous calls from concerned viewers. In a message posted to Mr Hilton's website on Wednesday, his family broke their silence on the distressing incident. The family confirmed he was under medical supervision, adding: "We can confirm that Perez is receiving medical care, and our family's focus right now is on his well-being." The sheriff's office revealed that deputies initially spoke with Mr Hilton's relatives at the scene before opting to "tactically disengage" while keeping the situation under observation.
