Add BollywoodShaadis on GooglePerez Hilton has been hogging the headlines ever since his bloody TikTok livestream left everyone shocked. The blogger appeared on a livestream from his house, covered in blood, using a knife to further harm himself. The gory video left everyone shook, and soon, police were informed of what was happening, and they took Hilton to the hospital. Now, social media is rife with the claim that Perez has passed away. However, is the buzz true? Let's find out.
The news of Perez Hilton's passing went viral after Pop Base Updates made a post alleging that the blogger had been pronounced dead at the age of 48. The news came amid intense buzz around Perez's blood-soaked TikTok live on August 4, 2026. However, many fans are now wondering if the news is true.
The speculation has been that the celebrity blogger Perez Hilton has died from self-inflicted injuries he briefly livestreamed on TikTok. For the unversed, it was on August 4, 2026, that the celebrity blogger, who was born Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr., went live on the social media site TikTok for roughly 15 minutes.
In the live, Perez Hilton was seen holding a knife, and his torso appeared to be covered in blood. Statements from Hilton's family later confirmed that his wounds were self-inflicted and the blogger was taken to the hospital after police responded to several calls informing them about the live. In the wake of the incident, posts spread online claiming Hilton had died from his injuries.
Fans have since been waiting for an update about what happened to Perez Hilton and whether the death news is true. However, upon thorough research, no evidence supporting the claim was found. Hence, the claim that Hilton had died because of his injuries was false. At least one account spreading the claim was a parody account of the celebrity news page PopBase, though it is hard to determine whether the parody page was the origin of the rumor.
Since the incident took place, Perez Hilton's family has released three public statements on his website PerezHilton.com. Two of these statements contain updated information about his medical condition. The first statement came on August 5, 2026, which simply stated that he was receiving medical attention. The second statement was released on August 6, 2026, sharing that the family still had little information about his condition but could confirm that Hilton was able to communicate with providers.
All three statements thanked Perez Hilton's fans for their support and prayers, while asking everyone to respect his privacy. The final statement released in the late hours of August 6, 2026 (ET), confirmed that Hilton's children were not at home when the incident happened and had 'fled' the residence minutes before the entire live fiasco took place.
For the unversed, the statement revealed that Hilton's children, niece, and sister were inside the home but left when it became evident that the blogger was experiencing a severe mental health crisis. The statement further shared that at the moment, Perez Hilton's children's well-being was of their highest priority. They admitted that the children will need time to heal from what they saw. They have asked media and fans to respect their privacy as they try to recover from what happened.
