American influencer Perez Hilton’s mental health crisis has sparked concerns online.
The showbiz commentator’s longtime podcast co-host Chris Booker has spoken out about the situation.
Chris, who has co-hosted The Perez Hilton Podcast with Perez since 2015, addressed the situation in a statement shared on Instagram, saying he was deeply saddened by what his co-host and his family are experiencing.
He wrote “I am so profoundly sad for Perez and his family and what they’re all going through. It’s truly unimaginable.”
“I have spoken only briefly with the family. I read the statement that his team released and want to honour their wishes at this impossible time.”
The podcast co-host also explained that even the commentator’s loved ones have faced difficulties obtaining updates because of security measures at the hospital.
He said “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.”
The 48-year-old was rushed to hospital earlier this week after emergency services responded to reports of concerning activity during a livestream.
