Summary
Miami-Dade deputies tactically disengaged from Perez Hilton’s residence after multiple callers reported a TikTok livestream showing alleged self-harm; authorities said he was alone inside.
The sheriff’s office said deputies are still monitoring the situation and supporting Hilton’s family, emphasizing de-escalation, time and distance, and crisis-intervention tactics to reduce injury risk.
The TikTok video appeared to have been removed by Tuesday as social media users circulated shock over what they said they had witnessed.
Hilton, born Mario Lavandeira, rose to fame with his 2000s celebrity gossip site and in recent years had recast his public image, saying in a 2012 interview he no longer wanted to be “toxic to the world.”
