Perez Hilton’s family gives update on celebrity blogger’s injuries

(CNN) – Perez Hilton remains in a Florida hospital in serious but stable condition.

The celebrity blogger entered the hospital last week after the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office received reports that a man was harming himself live on social media.

Hilton is hospitalized under Florida’s Baker Act.

The law allows for temporary involuntary detention of people experiencing a mental health crisis.

Hilton’s family updated his condition on Saturday.

Family members said Hilton lost a lot of blood and suffered injuries that will require surgery.

Relatives added his recovery is expected to take a long time.

The Hilton family has asked for privacy while he receives treatment.
