Perez Hilton Mental Health Crisis: Dispatch Log Records Alleged TikTok Threat Against Police

A call log from the emergency response to Perez Hilton's mental health crisis in Miami-Dade, Florida, on 4 August recorded a report that the celebrity blogger had said during a TikTok Live broadcast that he would hurt police, according to TMZ, which published details from the record on 4 September. IBTimes UK has not independently reviewed the log or verified the reported comment.

Authorities were called to Hilton's home on 4 August after receiving multiple reports about a livestream showing alarming behaviour. The Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office later said the individual was safely recovered and taken to a local hospital by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue for medical treatment.

Dispatch Log Records Reported Comment About Police

According to TMZ, one entry in the call log referred to the TikTok broadcast and recorded that the subject had expressed suicidal intentions and said he would hurt police.

As described by TMZ, the record does not establish that Hilton made a direct threat to an officer, identified a specific officer or physically confronted police. A dispatch log records information relayed to and among emergency personnel; it does not necessarily mean that every reported detail was independently verified.

TMZ reported that fire and rescue crews were told they could leave the area at about 9:13 p.m., before officers requested their return nearly two hours later. Emergency crews then entered the home with police, according to the outlet.

Available reports do not explain why officers changed their instructions during that interval. They also do not establish that Hilton was arrested or charged over the reported comment. TMZ's 4 September report did not mention any arrest or criminal charge arising from it.

Sister Reportedly Called 911 During Emergency

TMZ previously reported that Hilton's sister called 911 after finding him injured and behaving in a way that alarmed her. The outlet said she then took his children out of the home before emergency crews completed their response.

A Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office incident report later obtained by TMZ said fire rescue personnel treated Hilton at the scene for multiple injuries and an overdose before he was taken to hospital.

Hilton's brother-in-law later said on The Perez Hilton Podcast that Hilton had also suffered multiple broken bones after falling several times during the episode, according to TMZ. That account came from a family member and not an independent medical source.

Hilton's family separately said on 6 August that he had been experiencing a 'severe mental health crisis' and that his children, niece and sister had been inside the home shortly before the livestream incident. The family said they left after it became clear that he was harming himself.

Current Treatment Status Has Not Been Confirmed

Hilton's family said on 16 August that he remained hospitalised and was receiving treatment in an inpatient facility under the care of medical and mental health professionals. The statement said his health and recovery remained the family's priority.

TMZ's 4 September report said Hilton appeared to remain in inpatient mental health treatment, but presented this as an impression rather than a confirmed update. The report cited no more recent statement from Hilton or his family confirming his treatment status.

The dispatch material provides only a partial account of what responders were told during the emergency. It should not be treated as a clinical record or independent proof of every allegation recorded during the response.

The same caution applies to the reported TikTok comment. Without an independently reviewed recording of the relevant portion of the broadcast or an official account confirming the circumstances, the wording remains an allegation attributed to emergency records reported by TMZ.
