The family expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support they have received from fans, friends, and well-wishers. They said the past few days have been deeply emotional but remain optimistic as Hilton continues receiving medical care.
Hospitalized After Mental Health Crisis
Hilton was hospitalized on Aug. 4 after authorities responded to his Florida home following reports from viewers who witnessed a distressing livestream. According to officials, emergency responders transported him to a local hospital, where he remains under medical supervision.
Privacy Requested During Recovery
His family asked the public to respect Hilton’s privacy while he focuses on recovery. Representatives also said there is no additional confirmed information to share at this time, emphasizing that his health and well-being remain the priority.
