Summary
Nearly two weeks after the Aug. 4 TikTok self-harm livestream, Hilton’s family said Sunday he remains hospitalized and is receiving both medical and mental health treatment.
The update also said his team will resume publishing content on his blog this week, while the family again thanked supporters and asked that attention stay on his recovery.
Miami-Dade court records show Hilton’s mother filed for temporary custody of his three children, with Hilton consenting; her attorney said the move is meant to protect them and restore normalcy.
Family statements say the children, Hilton’s niece and his sister were home minutes before the incident and fled to shield the children from further trauma.
Earlier reports said Hilton was treated for overdose and lacerations after the livestream, underwent surgery and was hospitalized under Florida’s Baker Act.
