The Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office stated that deputies responded to Hilton’s Miami residence after receiving multiple distress calls from individuals viewing the live broadcast online. Upon arrival, law enforcement personnel spoke with members of Hilton’s family outside the residence. Officers confirmed that Hilton was the sole occupant inside the home at the time of the incident.

Hilton, 48, whose legal name is Mario Lavandeira, first rose to international prominence in the mid-2000s through his celebrity news website, PerezHilton.com.
