Perez Hilton, the 48-year-old blogger and media personality, has transitioned into a partial hospitalization program (PHP) as part of his ongoing mental health treatment, his family announced in an update published November 3.
Hilton remains in supportive housing while continuing to receive mental health care, according to the statement posted on his official website. The update marks the latest development in his recovery three months after he was hospitalized following a TikTok livestream in which he appeared to self-harm.
The family’s statement described the transition as a move to the "next phase" of treatment, noting that Hilton had been able to spend time with his three children—Mario III, 13; Mia, 11; and Mayte, 8—during approved visits. The update included a photo of Hilton’s children trick-or-treating, though the blogger was not present in the image.
Hilton was hospitalized on August 4 after Miami-Dade officers responded to multiple calls from concerned viewers of his livestream. At the time, his family reported he had suffered significant blood loss and required surgery. The incident followed a period of public and personal challenges for Hilton, who has been open about his struggles with mental health in the past.
The family’s statement expressed cautious optimism, saying: "It’s been three months since our family began navigating this difficult time. While it hasn’t been easy, we’re grateful to have some positive news to share about Perez’s recovery."
Hilton’s treatment now includes structured daily programming through the PHP, which allows patients to return home in the evenings while receiving intensive care. Supportive housing, often used in conjunction with such programs, provides a stable environment to facilitate recovery.
The update did not specify the duration of Hilton’s treatment or the nature of his mental health diagnosis. His representative has not responded to requests for comment, according to one source.
