Perez Hilton's family and team have delivered an update on his recovery as he remains in treatment three months after he was seen self-harming with a knife on a horrific live stream.

On Tuesday, PerezHilton.com posted a note addressing the 48-year-old gossip blogger's ongoing treatment, which they said had progressed to its 'next phase' in a cautiously optimistic update.

The post also included a sweet photo of Hilton's three children – son Mario III, 13; and daughters Mia, 11; and Mayte, eight – as they went trick-or-treating while their father remained in treatment.

The Daily Mail has reached out to Hilton's representative for comment but has not yet received a response. 

'It’s been three months since our family began navigating this difficult time. While it hasn’t been easy, we’re grateful to have some positive news to share about Perez’s recovery,' the update began.

Hilton's family and team revealed that he had 'transitioned into the next phase of his treatment' in October. 

The celebrity blogger is now in a 'partial hospitalization program (PHP), while staying in supportive housing.' 

Despite the change of scenery, Hilton 'continues to receive mental health care and support.'

Those close to Hilton noted that he had been 'able to spend time with his family during approved visits...'

Among those was a gathering to celebrate his mother's 73rd birthday, which also reunited him with his children.

'These moments together have meant so much to everyone,' his loved ones wrote.

They added that Hilton's post-crisis ordeal has 'been a learning process for our family.' 

'Like many people who have never been through something like this, we didn’t fully understand just how much time, care, and support recovery from a serious mental health crisis can require,' they admitted. 

After speaking with people who had suffered similar mental-health crises, Hilton's family came 'to understand that getting through the initial crisis is only the beginning.'

'There’s no one-size-fits-all timeline, and we’re learning the importance of taking things one step at a time,' they said.

Although they acknowledged that many of Hilton's fans wanted to know when he would be back home with his family, they noted that there was no 'confirmed date' for him to be discharged.

However, they were 'hopeful that day is getting closer.' 

'Most importantly, we want him to have the time and support he needs to continue making progress,' those close to Hilton continued.

They added that his children remained 'well' and were 'staying busy with school, their activities, and everyday life.'

'They also had a wonderful Halloween!' the update added. 'After everything they’ve been through, seeing them smiling, having fun, and simply enjoying being kids has been especially meaningful.'

Hilton's family and team concluded with thanks to his fans who had 'continued to check in and send kind messages.'

'We’re incredibly grateful for your love, compassion, and support. It means so much to our family,' they wrote.

The newest update comes after Hilton's website shared another note in late September that revealed he had been having short 'supervised' visits with his children and his mother, who has been caring for them while he remains at a residential treatment center.

'They were first able to spend time together through a few video calls, and since then, Perez has also been able to see his children and his mom a few times for short, supervised visits at the facility,' the statement said.

'Seeing his children in person has meant an enormous amount to Perez,' it continued. 'There have definitely been a lot of emotions for everyone, but being able to spend that time together has been incredibly meaningful and healing.'

That update followed a longtime friend of Hilton's setting up a fundraiser to help support his mother as she cares for his three children.

According to the statement, Hilton's team has had only 'limited' communication with him recently. 

However, they said the 'priority isn’t constant communication with family, but rather giving him the time and space to focus on his care and continue making progress.'

'He’s continuing to work with his care team on understanding what led to his mental health crisis, recognizing warning signs, learning better ways to cope, and working through everything that brought him to this point,' they continued.

Hilton's team said they still don't know when he will be able to move on from the residential facility to go home and transfer to an outpatient program. 

'Nobody wants to rush anything. For now, we’re all taking things one day at a time,' they said. 

'We’re grateful for the progress Perez has made so far, and especially grateful that he and his children have been able to spend some time together again,' his team added. 

The statement also updated Hilton's fans on an official fundraiser that his longtime friend, Tony-winning producer Tom D'Angora, had set up to assist his family.

'We want to thank Perez’s longtime friend Tom D’Angora again for setting up the GoFundMe to help Perez’s mom continue to care for his three children during this time,' the statement read. 'We also want to thank everyone who has donated, sent messages, and continued to send well wishes.'

They added that Hilton's mother, Teresita Lavandeira, 'has been incredibly touched and honestly overwhelmed by everyone’s generosity. It’s meant so much to her and to the kids.'

Now, with the support of Hilton's family, D'Angora is doing his part to raise funds for them during this difficult time. 

'I’ve known Perez Hilton (Mario) for 14 years and we have become very close friends, and during that time, he and his family have come to mean a great deal to me,' D'Angora said after launching the GoFundMe. 'With the support of his friends, I’m organizing this fundraiser to help his mother and his three children, Mario, Mia, and Mayte, during his treatment and recovery. 

'Perez is currently receiving full-time residential treatment while he focuses on his mental health and recovery. This process will take time. In the meantime, his mother has stepped in to care for his children full-time and give them the stability and support they need.' 

'Like any grandmother who suddenly finds herself responsible for raising three growing children, she’s also taken on significant and unexpected expenses,' D'Angora writes. 'She’s put much of her own life on hold to make sure the kids can continue going to school, participating in their normal activities, and having as much consistency as possible during an incredibly difficult time.'

D'Angora stressed that none of the money raised will be 'used for Perez personally.'

'All funds raised will benefit Perez’s mother and children only and help cover the additional costs of caring for three kids full-time. None of the money will be used for Perez personally,' he said. 

'It’s been heartbreaking to watch someone I care about very much, along with his entire family who I also care very deeply for, go through this. More than anything, I want to see Perez recover and return to a happy and fulfilling life as a father, son, brother, and a great friend.

'Every contribution, no matter the amount, will help support the kids and their grandmother during the months ahead. If you’re not in a position to donate, simply sharing this fundraiser would also mean a great deal.

'Thank you for helping care for the people Perez loves most while he does the difficult work of getting better.'

The fundraiser came with the blessing of Hilton's family, who posted a link to the GoFundMe on their official website. 

The update came not long after Hilton's family announced the blogger had entered a residential treatment program 'where he can focus fully on his mental health and recovery.'

'This was an important next step, but there's still a long road ahead,' his loved ones shared.

'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, whose real name is Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr, does not have access to a phone or laptop.

His communication with friends and family has been restricted during this crucial time of recovery.

Hilton's three children are currently living in Miami, Florida, under the temporary custody of his mother.

'His three children remain together, safe, and doing well in the care of their grandmother, who has stepped in to care for them full-time during this unexpected chapter,' Hilton's relatives continued.

'Our family's priority continues to be giving them as much stability, routine, and "normalcy" as possible while their dad focuses on his recovery. We are incredibly grateful for everything their grandmother is doing for them.'

The internet personality is allowed to see his children but those visits must be supervised by an approved family member or a therapist, TMZ reported, citing court documents.

Hilton must obtain 'psychiatric clearance' prior to those visits, according to the outlet.

The crisis occurred several months after Hilton moved from Las Vegas back to his hometown of Miami, and he was living there with his children and his mother at the time of the shocking livestream incident.

On August 4, he was found by his sister, Barbara Lavandeira, inside the home's bathroom covered in blood and holding a box cutter.

Hilton had been filming a live broadcast on TikTok during which he appeared to engage in self-harm.

The livestream continued for about 15 minutes before TikTok stopped the feed, and Hilton's TikTok account has since been banned by the platform.

Sheriff's deputies responded to the scene following numerous calls from concerned viewers and the social media site's own moderation team.

Hilton was treated for lacerations and an overdose before being transported to hospital under Florida's Baker Act, a state law that allows for the temporary and involuntary hold of individuals suffering a mental health crisis.

His family confirmed that he experienced significant blood loss and multiple broken bones.

'Perez is alive, he's getting help, and he's surrounded by people who want to see him healthy and happy again,' their statement concluded.

'Right now, those are the things that matter most.'

The Alexander brothers have been enjoying life at a New York City federal detention center where they've been held since early 2025.

So much so, in fact, that they have asked to stay there.

Last week, all three were sentenced to 30 years each in federal prison after a jury found them guilty in March of sex trafficking offenses, in a scheme in which they drugged and raped women over more than a decade. All three continue to deny wrongdoing.

After sentencing, inmates are normally moved from facilities like the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC), which mainly hold people awaiting trial or sentencing, to more permanent prisons.

But in an October 30 court filing, lawyers for the three brothers – twins Oren and Alon, 39, and Tal, 40 – urged the judge to keep them at MDC during their appeals process, which could take years. The judge had already refused the request at sentencing on October 27.

In the filing, defense attorney Deanna Paul asked the judge to reconsider, citing 'unique circumstances'. She argued that most of the issues on appeal affect all three brothers and that their lawyers need to be able to meet with them together.

Judge Valerie Caproni denied the request again on November 2, noting that they would have 60 to 90 days before being transferred. She bluntly told the attorney to 'make efficient use of the time'.

But sources close to the brothers have described their conditions and treatment at MDC to the Daily Mail – and it suggests there may be other reasons they want to stay put.

Rabbi Chaim Pollack, a prison chaplain who sees the siblings every other day, said the brothers had made friends with around 30 other Jewish inmates who eat and pray together.

'It is a community and they all look out for each other. They have Shabbos [the Jewish Sabbath] meals together and go to services. There is a very tight bond,' Pollack said.

The group gathers twice a week for services in the prison's chapel.

'Usually on Sundays there's religious services, there's a rabbi coming in, and Thursdays also,' Pollack said. 'All the Jews are getting together. It's like a two-hour service.'

Pollack was introduced to the brothers by Oren's cellmate, David Motovich, a convicted fraudster who ran a multi-million-dollar check-cashing scheme.

'I am usually in MDC from 9am to 3.30pm. I usually see a whole slew of people. Sometimes, I see the brothers exclusively. I usually see them every other day,' Pollack said.

'Some days it is just an hour but other times it has been more than four hours. It depends on what needs to be done.'

Pollack, who also helps the brothers with legal guidance, added: 'Sometimes we need to type up an email that needs to be sent out later. You cannot use the internet inside the visiting room the only thing I can do is prepare stuff to send out later. We prepare, research takes time. I work together with them.'

Pollack said that as well as helping them spiritually and legally, he also tries to make their stays as comfortable as possible.

He has arranged for the prison vending machine to be stocked with kosher food, for example.

'Sometimes we have kosher food, fresh vegetables, fresh fruit, sometimes bagels and lox,' he said. 'Non-Jews have burgers and pizza. Why can't you have kosher?'

For Hanukkah, Pollack arranged latkes, apple sauce, sour cream and donuts. 'There is no reason to suffer more than you have to,' he said.

The brothers also worry that leaving MDC means they will be split up.

Judge Caproni has recommended they be sent to separate facilities to serve their sentences because their crimes show they are a 'bad influence' on one another (several of their victims alleged they were raped by multiple brothers at the same time).

But Pollack warned they could be vulnerable if moved to different prisons because of their wealth and status, saying wealthy inmates are seen as opportunities for money or commissary goods.

'And you have to understand [at MDC] they have the Jewish community within the prison, [it] is very tight together. One looks out for the other. They only have each other.'

Pollack said they had increasingly been leaning on each other and their Jewish friends for protection after two of the brothers were attacked.

The Daily Mail understands that Alon and Tal had been working on computers in the library ahead of their sentencing when another inmate rushed into the area.

The inmate, who has harassed them before, was tackled by an officer and sprayed with pepper spray before he could reach them. The incident left both brothers shaken and more aware of their surroundings.

Juda Engelmayer, the Alexander family's PR strategist who speaks regularly with the siblings, said, there was concern within the family about where they will end up.

'We don't know what will happen when they get moved,' he said. He said MDC is convenient for the legal and appeal teams in New York and gives the brothers more time together. 'I think it's just better circumstances for them right now.'

Another benefit of being in Brooklyn is that the brothers' families can make regular trips from Miami to visit - and MDC appears lenient with timings and physical contact

'The family more or less try to make it every Friday,' Pollack said.

'They let you hug the kids. Maybe this is not for a rabbi to say, but they let them kiss the wives, you know? They can comfort each other. And they get over an hour, it's a good amount.'

He said the prison had also been accommodating about timing for Jewish visitors who observe Shabbat, which begins at sundown on Friday.

'There's a special memo, it took a while to get it approved, but for the Jewish visitors to come in at 10 o'clock in the morning on Fridays,' said Pollack.

With their request to stay at MDC denied, the brothers are now pushing to be sent to a prison in Florida, closer to their families and their children.

Pollack said it is their young families that keep the brothers going.

He revealed that Alon's wife brought their two daughters, ages four and six, to visit last Friday, just days after the brothers' sentencing.

'Alon was being a father,' he said. 'He was playing with them. There were some toys.'

Tal, who is divorcing, struggles most with not seeing his son. 'It's difficult because he doesn't see his son,' Pollack said. He added that Tal is optimistic he will remarry. Oren married Brazilian model Kamila Hansen in 2023 and they have one son together. 

With at least 60 more days at MDC, the brothers know they will remain close to family for Thanksgiving and Chanukah - one less worry while they focus on their appeal. 

'The fear of the unknown is over now. They know where they stand now,' said Pollock.

He said they feel relief 'that the charade is over and they could focus on what needs to be done.'

'Thirty years is not a joke. They are still optimistic. That is the Jewish faith and they are working on their appeal.'
