Perez Hilton’s children were inside his home ‘just minutes’ before distressing TikTok livestream and ‘immediately fled’ with family

Perez Hilton‘s children were inside his home ‘just minutes’ before his distressing livestream incident, the family has now revealed. 

Hilton was taken to the hospital following a TikTok livestream which saw him self-harming with a knife while at his home in Miami on Tuesday night. 

Now his family have revealed more details about what transpired just before the heartbreaking incident.

In a new statement posted to Hilton’s website, it was revealed his children, niece, and sister were ‘inside’ the home minutes before the livestream. 

The family ‘immediately fled’ to protect the children from ‘witnessing any further trauma’ when it became apparent that their father was ‘experiencing a severe mental health crisis and harming himself.’

They are now asking that his children receive the ‘privacy and space’ needed ‘during this unimaginably difficult time.’

Hilton is a father to three children, who were born via surrogacy. His eldest son was born in 2013, followed by two daughters in 2015 and 2017

‘Our family cannot express enough our continued gratitude for the overwhelming outpouring of love, support, and prayers we have received during this incredibly difficult time,’ the statement began. 

‘The events of the past several days have been nearly unbearable for our family.

‘Just minutes before the public livestream incident, Perez’s children, niece, and sister were inside the home. When it became clear that Perez was experiencing a severe mental health crisis and harming himself, they immediately fled to protect the children from witnessing any further trauma.

‘Our highest priority right now is helping the children begin to heal from what they experienced. An important part of that process is allowing them to safely return home and begin rebuilding a sense of security and normalcy.

‘For the children’s safety, privacy, and well-being, we respectfully ask members of the media, paparazzi, content creators, and the public to leave the area surrounding the family’s home and not return. Please allow his children the privacy and space they need during this unimaginably difficult time.

‘We will continue to provide updates on Perez’s condition through PerezHilton.com when we have additional information we are able to share.

‘Again, thank you for your compassion, understanding, and continued prayers.’
