Perez Hilton was treated for an overdose after his livestreamed suicide attempt earlier this month, according to a Florida incident report.
A fire rescue team entered the gossip bloggerâs Florida home on Aug. 4 and âbegan treatment on scene for multiple lacerations and an overdoseâ before transporting him to a local hospital, according to an incident report obtained by People Friday.
Hiltonâs sister, Barbara Lavandeira, called law enforcement after she discovered her brother self-harming while âcovered in bloodâ and unclothed during a TikTok livestream.
Lavandeira had left the home, along with Hiltonâs three children â Mario, 13, Mia, 11, and Mayte, 8. However, the internet personality rushed outside â in the same condition â and was âbanging onâ the car window, the report stated.
When officers arrived, Hilton, 48, had locked himself back inside his house.
According to the report, Hiltonâs family members later arrived at the scene and took him to the living room to undergo treatment.
Page Six has independently confirmed that Perez was treated for an overdose.
We can also confirm he ran out of the home to his sisterâs car.
Lavandeira told Page Six in an emotional interview that her brother was battling âsevere depressionâ and had checked himself into a hospital before the heartbreaking incident.
Recalling two weeks prior to Hiltonâs hospitalization, she said, âHe told us that a few days earlier, he had felt empty, hopeless and like he was a burden on everyone.â
âHe then admitted that one night when he couldnât sleep, he had taken the remaining painkillers from his surgery in March. He said he just wanted to sleep.â
Lavandeira told us that she took Hilton to the hospital, and he was discharged days later, noting that he âseemedâ and âlooked betterâ in the days leading up to the suicide attempt and was in therapy.
She described finding Hilton in his condition as âthe darkest daysâ she and her family have experienced.
Hiltonâs mom, Teresita Lavandeira, has since filed for temporary custody of his three children.
