Perez Hilton‘s family has released another statement, this time, revealing some details about his children.

Perez Hilton has three kids: Mario Armando Lavandeira III, 13, Mia Alma, 11, and Mayte Amor, 8.
Read the family’s new statement, revealing information about the moments before his crisis
Our family cannot express enough our continued gratitude for the overwhelming outpouring of love, support, and prayers we have received during this incredibly difficult time.
The events of the past several days have been nearly unbearable for our family.
Just minutes before the public livestream incident, Perez’s children, niece, and sister were inside the home. When it became clear that Perez was experiencing a severe mental health crisis and harming himself, they immediately fled to protect the children from witnessing any further trauma.
Our highest priority right now is helping the children begin to heal from what they experienced. An important part of that process is allowing them to safely return home and begin rebuilding a sense of security and normalcy.
For the children’s safety, privacy, and well-being, we respectfully ask members of the media, paparazzi, content creators, and the public to leave the area surrounding the family’s home and not return. Please allow his children the privacy and space they need during this unimaginably difficult time.
Again, thank you for your compassion, understanding, and continued prayers. (via his website).
