Police bodycam footage from Perez Hilton's August suicide attempt has been released, showing the bloodstained aftermath at his Miami home. The celebrity blogger, aged 48, was hospitalized on 4 August after live streaming an apparent self-harming video. In the three-minute footage, first responders placed Hilton on a stretcher and transported him into an ambulance, whilst an unknown woman stood outside the house in distress.

Hilton's sister Barbara Lavandeira, who was present during the incident, called 911 to report that her brother was 'having a meltdown' and was 'all cut up' and covered in blood. She told the dispatcher he had 'a box cutter or a knife', though she could not see exactly what he was using. Lavandeira and Hilton's three children—Mario, 13, Mia, 11, and Mayte, 8—fled the home during the incident.

Authorities arrived at the residence and confirmed Hilton was 'safely recovered and transported to a local hospital'. According to a family update, he experienced significant blood loss and sustained additional injuries that required surgery.
