Perez Hilton’s team is speaking out and revealing the extent of his injuries in the wake of a disturbing livestream in which he self-harmed with a knife.
In a statement shared to Hilton’s website, his team revealed that he suffered ‘significant blood loss’ in the horrific incident, as well as unspecified ‘additional injuries.’
According to the update, the 48-year-old gossip blogger will ‘require surgery in the coming days’ to treat his injuries.
The statement also confirmed that Hilton ‘remains hospitalized under Florida’s Baker Act,’ a law that allows for involuntary hospitalizations.
Due to the conditions of his hospitalization and the Baker Act, they emphasized that the blogger’s ‘communication has been extremely limited and confined to immediate family, medical providers, and others directly involved in his care.’
It emphasized that his ‘condition remains serious but stable,’ and Hilton’s team said his ‘treatment and recovery’ would be a ‘long process.’
