The gossip blogger used a knife to cut himself in the TikTok video.

“In many incidents involving a person experiencing a mental health crisis or actively harming themselves, deputies prioritize de-escalation by creating time, distance and opportunities for communication,” the statement went on. “Unless there is an immediate threat to others, slowing the situation and utilizing crisis intervention techniques can reduce the likelihood of a suicide-by-cop encounter and minimize the risk of injury to the individual, deputies and the public."

Hilton — who is a father to kids Mario, 13, Mia, 11, and Mayte, 8 — was alone in his home during the ordeal.

Hilton's video caused much concern, as he was seen using a knife to cut himself while naked. TikTok has since suspended his account, but the clip was online for about three minutes before it was taken down.

Perez Hilton was hospitalized earlier this year.

In March, the columnist suffered with severe sepsis and was hospitalized in Las Vegas. "March madness indeed! Have I got a story to tell," he captioned a post on Instagram at the time where he wore a hospital gown and bracelet.

He had tubes attached to his nose and other photos showed scars on Hilton's stomach.

Just a few weeks later, the media personality was admitted to a medical center once again due to a blood clot forming in his right leg.
