Mario Lavandeira, known to everyone as Perez Hilton, is 48 years old and has spent two decades as one of the loudest voices in the entertainment world. On Tuesday night, that voice suddenly went silent. From his home in the Westchester neighborhood of Miami-Dade, he began a TikTok livestream that ended with multiple calls to the local sheriff.
What those who were watching saw was disturbing: Hilton appeared with visible injuries, holding what looked like a knife. The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office confirmed that it responded to the call and that he was alone inside the home. Officers spoke with his family members at the scene before Miami-Dade Fire Rescue transported him to a nearby hospital.
His agency, Golden Artists Entertainment, later admitted that they had been unable to reach him despite trying. The episode comes just months after Hilton himself said that he spent weeks hospitalized for an ulcer and sepsis in early 2026. The video was removed from the platform, but the question about his real condition remained hanging over those who have followed him for years.
