Perez Hilton‘s care is moving into a new phase focused on his mental health after weeks of treatment for physical injuries, according to his family.
Tom, the husband of Perez‘s sister Barbara, shared the update during an August 23 recording of The Perez Hilton Podcast With Chris Booker. He said Perez has been treated for cuts and several broken bones, which the family attributed to falls during the crisis.
“So, we are now just transitioning into the mental side of things,” Tom said. “Although, of course, while he’s in the hospital, while he’s being treated for his physical ailments, psychiatrists come in and check in and see how he’s doing and make sure he’s not looking to harm himself.”
Tom said Perez is lucid, but he has avoided pressing him for details while he recovers. “I don’t know how much he does or doesn’t recall,” he said, adding, “We will get into that more once he’s in that setting, where we’re focusing on his mental health.”
Perez was hospitalized after a concerning August 4 livestream in which he appeared to harm himself. Police responded to his Miami home after receiving multiple calls, and the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office later confirmed that he had been taken to a local hospital for medical care.
His family previously said Perez remained hospitalized under the care of medical and mental health professionals. No psychiatric diagnosis or recovery timetable has been announced. Tom‘s latest update is that Perez will move into a facility focused on his mental recovery.
