Hilton Is Recovering in a Miami Hospital After Concerned Viewers Reported He Appeared to Self-harm During a Tiktok Livestream on Tuesday

The Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office said an individual had been "safely recovered" from his home and taken to a local hospital, with crisis response units and mental health professionals providing support to the family. Police confirmed Hilton, whose real name is Mario Lavandeira, was home alone during the stream, and his TikTok account was suspended soon after. His managers, Dante Rusciolelli and Rebekah Kochan, said they had not been able to make direct contact with him and asked for privacy. Hilton, known for his celebrity gossip blog, rose to fame in the early 2000s and has since apologized for past cruel comments, embracing a kinder public persona as a father of three.
