Add Page Six on Google Perez Hilton’s family shared that the gossip blogger has entered a residential treatment program one month after his suicide attempt.
“After weeks in the hospital receiving treatment for his physical injuries, Perez entered a residential treatment program where he can focus fully on his mental health and recovery,” she wrote in a statement shared to Hilton’s website Monday.
“This was an important next step, but there’s still a long road ahead. Perez is expected to remain in residential treatment for several more weeks, potentially longer, depending on what his treatment team believes is best for his recovery.”

Hilton’s family also made sure to shut down several “false reports” made about his health since his hospitalization.
They specifically called out the previous claim that the 48-year-old believed he was living in 2016 and was dealing with serious memory loss.
“To be clear, Perez has not lost ten years of his memory, does not believe it’s 2016, and is not confused about where he is. He is lucid and communicates clearly with his family,” they clarified.
“He does not have stitches and is not covered in gauze. And no, he has not asked anyone to bring Katy Perry to see him or mentioned her. No family member, and no one authorized to speak on Perez’s behalf, provided these false claims.”
