Perez Hilton’s road to recovery following his recent “suicide attempt” is going to be a lengthy one.
The gossip blogger’s family shared a new update with fans Saturday, noting that he “remains hospitalized under Florida’s Baker Act” and that his “condition remains serious but stable.”
“He experienced significant blood loss and sustained additional injuries that will require surgery in the coming days,” they said. “His treatment and recovery will be a long process.”
The Baker Act, also known as the Florida Mental Health Act, allows for temporary and involuntary detention of someone experiencing a mental health crisis, especially if it’s likely the individual might pose a serious threat to themselves or others, according to the Florida Department of Children and Families.

The latest statement also confirmed that Hilton’s three children “remain safe and are being cared for by immediate family.”
Hilton’s family have kept the public up-to-date on the celebrity blogger’s condition in the days since his apparent mental health breakdown Tuesday, when he was rushed to the hospital after livestreaming an apparent self-harming video.
