"Seeing his children in person has meant an enormous amount to Perez," his family shared in a Tuesday, September 29, update. "That time together has been incredibly meaningful and healing."
Hilton was hospitalized on August 4 after he appeared to harm himself during a TikTok livestream from his Miami, Fla. home.
They Initially Connected Through Video
The in-person visits followed video calls.
The reunions began with several video calls before progressing to short visits.
The 48-year-old has since enjoyed supervised time with his children and mother at his care facility. "There have definitely been a lot of emotions for everyone," his family acknowledged.
Hilton is the father of three children: son Mario and daughters Mia and Mayte. His mother has been caring for them while he remains away from home.
His Family Still Has Limited Contact
Perez Hilton’s contact with family is limited so he can focus on getting better.
Communication with the media personality remains restricted, and his relatives said they are not able to speak with him every day.
"While that’s hard for us and for him, we understand that right now 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," the family explained.
