Perez Hilton’s sister, Barbara Lavandeira, has shared a harrowing firsthand account of the night the celebrity blogger attempted suicide, revealing that she was the first person to discover him in his Miami home before he was hospitalized.
The gossip blogger was found bloodied and covered in cuts all over his naked body on August 4, 2026, when authorities reported to his Miami residence. Hilton’s mental health crisis took a devastating turn, and that too, while his three minor children were present inside the house.
