Police responded Tuesday night to the Florida home of Perez Hilton after reports the celebrity gossip blogger appeared to be harming himself on a TikTok livestream.
In response to a question about Hilton’s livestream, the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office told CNN it “received multiple calls regarding an individual who was livestreaming acts of self-harm on social media.”
“Deputies quickly located the individual’s residence, where they spoke with family members on scene, and confirmed he was alone inside,” the sheriff’s office said, adding they worked to de-escalate the situation.
In the livestream, which was later taken down, Hilton appeared to be engaging in self-harm. Multiple social media users commented, urging him to stop.
