MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — Celebrity blogger and television personality Perez Hilton, whose real name is Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr., is receiving help after the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office responded to reports of a mental health crisis at his South Florida home. 
According to the sheriff’s office, deputies received multiple calls Tuesday night that Hilton appeared to be harming himself during a TikTok livestream. 
“Mario, Mario! 
Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office! 
Step out of the house!” 
a deputy is heard in surveillance video yelling outside Hilton’s home in southwest Miami-Dade. 
Deputies said they responded to the home, confirmed with family members that Hilton was alone inside and worked to safely de-escalate the situation. 
Authorities said he is now receiving the care he needs. 
The incident comes after Hilton shared publicly that he had experienced a serious medical scare earlier this year that left him hospitalized with an ulcer and sepsis for several weeks. 
In June, he also announced that he had relocated from Las Vegas to Miami with his children. 
In a statement, Hilton’s representative, Golden Artists Entertainment, said: 
“We are aware of the concerning content circulating online involving our client, Perez Hilton. 
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. 
Until we have confirmed information, we will not speculate or comment further.” 
The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office is using the incident as an opportunity to remind the public that mental health resources are available for anyone experiencing a crisis and encouraged people to seek help if they or someone they know is struggling. 
Hilton, a Cuban-American, rose to prominence through his celebrity gossip website before expanding into fashion and music coverage and becoming a familiar television personality. 
No additional information about Hilton’s condition has been released. 
If you or someone you know is facing a mental health crisis, call or text 988 to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
