In a statement posted to Hilton’s website, his loved ones said the past few days have been “incredibly difficult and emotional,” adding that they have received limited information but remain hopeful about his recovery. They also thanked supporters for their prayers and kind messages, asking for continued privacy and compassion while focusing on his health.
The update comes a day after Hilton, whose real name is Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr., was hospitalized following an apparent self-harm incident that was livestreamed on TikTok. Miami-Dade authorities said they responded after receiving multiple emergency calls and later confirmed he was safely transported to a local hospital, where he remains under medical care. Mental health professionals also provided support to his family.
Hilton’s representatives said they have no new information to share and echoed the family’s request for privacy as he receives treatment.
According to reports, the 48-year-old has faced a challenging year marked by a cross-country move, serious health issues and financial difficulties. His podcast has also been placed on hold while he focuses on recovery.
