MIAMI, FLORIDA: A late-night 911 call has revealed new details about the emergency involving celebrity blogger Perez Hilton at his Miami home.
Dispatch records, accessed by Page Six on Wednesday, August 5, show authorities received a report shortly before 11 pm Tuesday and quickly sent police and fire units to the property.
The response was treated as an “active police scene,” with officers eventually entering the home and Hilton being taken to a hospital for medical care.

The urgency of the situation is apparent from the dispatch traffic.
At 10:41 pm, a call came in concerning Hilton at his Miami residence.
Police units were sent to the address, with fire crews also responding as authorities dealt with what dispatch described as an active scene. Additional units were told to remain available.

Hilton's seemingly normal online life
The emergency came after a period in which Hilton had continued appearing active on social media.
Some of his recent posts had a notably different tone from the disturbing material that ultimately prompted calls to authorities.
Hilton had recently shared videos discussing his Christian faith and passages from the Bible.
In another post, he spoke about Ariana Grande stepping away from the spotlight and ended by sending supportive wishes to people who might be struggling.
Those posts have drawn renewed attention following the Miami incident, although they do not necessarily provide a clear indication of what Hilton may have been experiencing privately.
Hilton built his public profile through celebrity gossip coverage in the early 2000s, becoming known for his often provocative commentary about Hollywood stars before expanding into television and other entertainment ventures.
