Law enforcement officers responded to celebrity blogger Perez Hilton’s residence in Miami after emergency dispatchers received multiple calls regarding a alarming live broadcast on social media.

The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office confirmed that deputies were dispatched to the scene following reports of a broadcast depicting an individual experiencing a severe mental health crisis and apparent self-harm. Upon arrival, officers spoke with family members outside and verified that the 48-year-old father of three was alone inside the home.

In a statement, authorities explained that deputies opted to “tactically disengage” while maintaining continuous monitoring of the situation. Officials noted that during mental health calls involving self-harm, de-escalation strategies prioritize creating time and space to minimize the risk of escalation or injury. The livestream was subsequently removed, and representatives for Hilton expressed that their primary focus remains his health and well-being while trying to establish direct contact
