Perez Hilton‘s mother Teresita Lavandeira is apparently taking legal steps right now to ensure his children are taken care of.

Reports indicate that Teresita has filed for temporary custody of the 48-year-old gossip blogger’s three kids: Mario, 13, Mia, 11, and Mayte, 8. Page Six was first to report the news.

Hilton was taken to the hospital last 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 latest update from Hilton reads: “Perez’s condition remains serious but stable. He experienced significant blood loss and sustained additional injuries that will require surgery in the coming days. His treatment and recovery will be a long process. We are grateful that Perez was able to spend time with his mother and sister yesterday. As our family remains focused on Perez’s treatment and recovery, we also need the space and privacy to care for everyone affected by this situation.”

In a previous statement, the family revealed where Perez‘s children were at the time of the incident.
