Authorities verified that Hilton was alone in his home at the time of the livestream.
Deputies have since been instructed to "tactically disengage," while still monitoring the situation.
Miami-Dade County Sheriff's Office confirms Perez Hilton's hospitalisation The Miami-Dade County Sheriff's Office also verified that Hilton was securely taken from his residence to a nearby hospital, where he is currently receiving medical care.
"In many incidents involving a person experiencing a mental health crisis or actively harming themselves, deputies prioritize de-escalation by creating time, distance, and opportunities for communication," the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office stated in a statement.
"Unless there is an immediate threat to others, slowing the situation and utilizing crisis intervention techniques can reduce the likelihood of a suicide-by-cop encounter and minimize the risk of injury to the individual, deputies, and the public."
In 2007, the site erroneously reported the death of Cuban President Fidel Castro, asserting that US officials would soon confirm his passing, as per Celebrity Net Worth.
PerezHilton.com has been criticized for pressuring various celebrities to publicly disclose their sexual orientation.
By sharing compromising images and information, Hilton creates an undeniable impression that these people are gay, leaving them with little option but to affirm their sexual identity to the public.
These personalities include Neil Patrick Harris and Lance Bass.
In response, Hilton argued that he has significantly promoted LGBTQ rights by increasing the visibility of gay celebrities.
Over the years, PerezHilton.com has encountered a variety of legal disputes.
In 2007, Sony took legal measures against Hilton and his platform after the site published several unreleased songs by Britney Spears.
Furthermore, in that same year, Hilton faced defamation allegations from DJ Samantha Ronson, who claimed that one of his posts falsely asserted she had planted a bag of cocaine on Lindsay Lohan.
In the end, Hilton was deposed and granted $85,000, Celebrity Net Worth reported.
Hilton encountered legal challenges after he linked to a Colin Farrell sex tape on his website and shared a topless image of Jennifer Aniston.
However, Hilton managed to secure a new hosting service and reached an out-of-court settlement for an undisclosed amount.
