Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, 48, was taken to hospital in Miami-Dade County on Tuesday after appearing to hurt himself during a TikTok livestream.

Hilton was held under Florida's Baker Act, a law that lets authorities detain someone who may be a danger to themselves. On Wednesday, his family confirmed that he is able to talk and communicate. They said they do not have full information about what happened, but they are hopeful about his recovery. The family has asked for privacy during this time.
