It’s been three months since our family began navigating this difficult time. While it hasn’t been easy, we’re grateful to have some positive news to share about Perez’s recovery.
In October, Perez transitioned into the next phase of his treatment, a partial hospitalization program (PHP), while staying in supportive housing. He continues to receive mental health care and support.
He’s also been able to spend time with his family during approved visits, including a special evening celebrating his mom’s 73rd birthday together with the children. These moments together have meant so much to everyone.
This entire experience has been a learning process for our family. Like many people who have never been through something like this, we didn’t fully understand just how much time, care, and support recovery from a serious mental health crisis can require. Through conversations with others who have been through similar situations, we’ve come to understand that getting through the initial crisis is only the beginning. There’s no one-size-fits-all timeline, and we’re learning the importance of taking things one step at a time.
We know many of you are wondering when Perez will be returning home. While we don’t have a confirmed date to share, we’re hopeful that day is getting closer. Most importantly, we want him to have the time and support he needs to continue making progress.
In the meantime, the children are doing well, staying busy with school, their activities, and everyday life. They also had a wonderful Halloween! After everything they’ve been through, seeing them smiling, having fun, and simply enjoying being kids has been especially meaningful.
As always, thank you to everyone who has continued to check in and send kind messages. We’re incredibly grateful for your love, compassion, and support. It means so much to our family.
Thank you,
The Perez Hilton Team & Family
