Perez Hilton to undergo surgery after severe blood loss

Perez Hilton's family has shared a new update on his health following his alarming mental health episode that was livestreamed last week.

The celebrity gossip blogger remains in hospital in Florida, where his condition is "serious but stable", and he will require surgery in the coming days, according to his family.

In a new statement on Hilton's website, his family confirmed that he remains hospitalised under Florida's Mental Health Act, writing, "His communication has been extremely limited and confined to immediate family, medical providers, and others directly involved in his care. He has not communicated with the media or issued any public statements.

"Perez's condition remains serious but stable. He experienced significant blood loss and sustained additional injuries that will require surgery in the coming days," the statement reads.

"His treatment and recovery will be a long process. We are grateful that Perez was able to spend time with his mother and sister yesterday."

Hilton's family also asked for privacy for the prolific gossip-spreader, as he continues his recovery, and for the media and public to stay away from their property.

"We respectfully ask members of the media, paparazzi, content creators, and the public to leave the area surrounding the family's home and not return," the statement read.
