Perez Hilton‘s podcast co-host is breaking his silence.

If you don’t know, the 48-year-old gossip blogger was taken to the hospital after he was livestreaming on social media and appeared to be harming himself. The disturbing footage was broadcast on TikTok live, and fans grew immediately concerned. Police responded to his home before he was taken to a local medical facility.

The following day, Chris Booker – who has co-hosted The Perez Hilton Podcast with Chris Booker with Perez since 2015 – released a statement addressing the situation.

“I am so profoundly sad for Perez and his family and what they’re all are going through,” Chris began on Instagram. “It’s truly unimaginable.”

“I have spoken only briefly with the family. I read the statement that his team released and want to honor their wishes at this impossible time,” he continued. “Even the family is struggling to get updates due to the confidential security measures in place at the hospital because of how many people are trying to get information. Any updates will come via PerezHilton.com.”

Chris then addressed the future of their podcast.

“As for the shows (iHeart Podcast and Patreon), it’s all TBD at the moment as our collective focus is on his health,” Chris shared. “I certainly hope to continue them with my friend when the time is appropriate. I will give updates there when the time is right. We’ve done these shows for over a decade now and the support from our listeners has been resounding.”

He is very loved. I can only hope that he feels it,” Chris concluded. “Heal up friend.”

More information has come to light in the last few hours

Audio from the 911 call last night has since been released.

In addition, a celebrity who has a past with Perez Hilton has officially released a statement on how she feels.
