Police Respond to Perez Hilton’s Miami Home After Alarming Livestream

On Tuesday night, multiple 911 callers alerted authorities to a disturbing TikTok livestream from Perez Hilton’s Miami home that appeared to show someone in crisis. Deputies with the Miami-Dade County Sheriff’s Office traced the stream to Hilton’s residence in the Westchester neighborhood, where family members met officers outside and said he was alone inside, according to the agency.

Rather than force contact, deputies opted to “tactically disengage” — a de‑escalation approach the Sheriff’s Office described in a statement reported by Newsweek as creating time and distance when a person may be in crisis. The goal, the agency said, is to avoid escalating an already volatile situation while continuing to monitor.

• Deputies received multiple calls about a troubling livestream and identified Hilton as the person on camera.
• Officers responded to his Westchester home and spoke with family outside; Hilton was reportedly alone inside.
• Authorities disengaged to de‑escalate and continued monitoring the situation.
• Hilton was later located safely and taken to a local hospital for evaluation and care.
• TikTok removed the livestream and suspended his account.
• Law enforcement’s crisis team and mental health professionals are working with Hilton’s family and providing resources.

The alarming video rippled quickly across social platforms, drawing shocked reactions from viewers and public figures.

Health scare and turn to faith

Hilton has spoken candidly in recent months about a profound shift in his life following a 21-day hospital stay that he said included complications like sepsis and deep vein thrombosis. He described a spiritual “encounter with God” during that ordeal, saying he believes “God saved me,” and talked about wanting to bring his three children to church more regularly.

He also publicly committed to reading the Bible cover to cover for the first time, documenting the process on YouTube and other platforms. In those posts, Hilton said he felt both inspired and overwhelmed at points as he shared reflections from his reading.

As of now, TikTok has pulled the livestream and suspended his account, and the Sheriff’s Office says its crisis response team and mental health professionals remain engaged with the family.
