Perez Hilton’s Family Reports Progress in Recovery, Says He Is Receiving Continued Mental Health Care
Three months after his hospitalization, the blogger has moved into supportive housing and a partial hospitalization program, while his family remains hopeful about his return home.
Three months after a medical emergency that led to his hospitalization, celebrity blogger Perez Hilton is making progress in his recovery, according to a statement released by his family on November 3.
The update indicates that Hilton, 48, has moved into a partial hospitalization program and is currently living in supportive housing while continuing to receive mental health care. He has also been able to spend time with his three children, marking a positive development for the family during an extended period of treatment.
His relatives described the past three months as a difficult experience but said they were encouraged by the progress made so far.
Family Emphasizes the Time Needed for Recovery
In its statement, the family explained that the experience had changed its understanding of the support required after a serious mental health crisis.
They said that overcoming the initial emergency represents only the beginning of a longer recovery process, which may require sustained care, patience and support. The family also stressed that there is no fixed timetable for recovery, noting that each person's experience is different.
The update included details of recent family moments, including Hilton spending time with his mother on her 73rd birthday. His children, meanwhile, were described as smiling, enjoying themselves and continuing their everyday activities.
The family expressed hope that Hilton would be able to return home in the near future. However, it did not announce a confirmed date for the completion of his current treatment.
From Celebrity Gossip to a Period of Personal Recovery
Hilton, whose legal name is Mario Armando Lavandiera Jr., became widely known in the mid-2000s through PerezHilton.com, a celebrity gossip website recognized for its often controversial coverage of Hollywood personalities.
His latest health update follows an incident on August 4 that prompted concern among viewers of a TikTok livestream. Authorities in Miami-Dade County, Florida, responded to calls from viewers, and Hilton was taken to a hospital. His family previously said that he had sustained serious injuries and required surgery.
The November statement shifts the focus toward his ongoing treatment and the gradual steps involved in recovery. While the family has shared encouraging developments, Hilton's treatment remains underway, and his return home has not yet been scheduled.
