Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton prompted a response from Florida law enforcement on Tuesday evening after livestreaming what appeared to be acts of self-harm from his Miami home, according to local authorities.
A video viewed by Mediaite showed Hilton cutting himself with a large knife in multiple places on his body.
At one point in the livestream, Hilton said, "I'm committing suicide." The stream then ended.
The Miami-Dade County Sheriff's Office told Newsweek it received "multiple calls" reporting that an individual was broadcasting acts of self-harm online. Deputies responded to Hilton's residence, where they spoke with family members outside the home and determined Hilton was alone inside.
Rather than immediately force an encounter, deputies opted to "tactically disengage" while continuing to monitor the situation.
