“At this time, we do not have any additional confirmed information to share regarding Perez Hilton’s condition,” Rusciolelli said in an Aug. 5 statement. “Our focus remains on Perez’s health, recovery and the privacy of both him and his family during this incredibly difficult time.”
The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office confirmed in a statement to E! News that on Aug. 4 they responded to multiple calls regarding an incident regarding an individual, later confirmed to be Hilton, and “quickly located the individual’s residence, where they spoke with family members on scene, and confirmed he was alone inside.”
Miami authorities also confirmed they had connected to Hilton’s family—he is the dad of three young kids—and provided support and resources.
Hilton’s family has also addressed his hospitalization in their own statement to his website, reiterating their need for privacy during the extremely difficult time.
“Thank you for your compassion,” the family wrote, “understanding, and continued support.”
