Further details about what transpired at Perez Hilton's home following his concerning TikTok livestream have emerged.
Police in Miami, Florida, confirmed that they had received 'multiple calls' of concern on Tuesday (4 August) in regards to the 48-year-old media personality.
Audio of the 911 dispatch call that ensued has since been obtained by Page Six, which details how dozens of emergency responders rushed to his home and coaxed him outside.
Advert
The showbiz world has been left deeply concerned for Hilton's wellbeing in wake of the events that took place at his home in Miami on Tuesday evening.
Social media users tuning into his TikTok livestream alerted authorities after noticing that the celebrity blogger appeared to be drenched in blood and engaging in self-harm.
The frightening footage prompted a significant police response, while the fire service was also sent to the address. In the dispatch call, the incident was reportedly described as a 'suicide attempt'.
According to Page Six, this call took place at 10.41pm and several units then 'responded' to the 'active police scene', while additional resources were on alert and advised to 'stand by' for further instruction.
The outlet reported that a graphic description of Hilton's condition was shared during the call, that it considers too explicit to share.
The audio then captures the moment that emergency responders were able to 'make entry into the house with police' at around 11pm.
Four hour standoff
Page Six reported that officers were still at Hilton's home by 11.11pm, citing Ring doorbell footage, which is four hours after officials first arrived.
The media outlet also previously reported that three squad cars from the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office with their sirens on at around 7.10pm on Tuesday evening.
It is alleged that cops attempted to enter the property 15 minutes later, while further officers also arrived.
One could reportedly be heard saying: "Mario, it’s the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office, please step out of the house."
Hilton - whose real name is Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr - was alone inside the home.
The force is said to have told Page Six that the call was made to 'tactically disengage' while 'monitoring the situation' after a discussion with his family members.
Police said that ultimately, Hilton - who is the father of Mario, 13, Mia, 11, and Mayte, 8 - was 'safely recovered' from the pad and then transported to a local hospital in Miami.
It is presumed that the Florida native is continuing to recover there.
A woman who appeared in the livestream alongside HIM has since spoken out about the incident and said she believes that Hilton 'needs real help'.
Remarks made by Hilton earlier this year after he suffered a serious health scare in March have also resurfaced.
