PUBLISHED Aug 25, 2026, 9:48 AM ET

Social media influencer and blogger Perez Hilton remains hospitalized following a severe mental health crisis and physical accident during an online broadcast earlier this month. Hilton, 48, suffered multiple broken bones after a fall at his Miami home on August 4 while family members, including his mother, sister, and children, were present. The incident follows a turbulent period that included a recent move to Florida and emergency surgery for sepsis. His brother-in-law, Tom, shared details during a podcast appearance, noting that Hilton is receiving medical treatment for his physical injuries while psychiatrists begin addressing his mental health. The family has not publicly identified the specific catalyst for the crisis. Meanwhile, temporary custody of Hilton's children has been granted to his mother. Mental health advocates emphasize that confidential support remains accessible via the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by dialing or texting 988 for individuals experiencing distress.
