Perez Hilton Seemed Happy, Excited About Life Weeks Before Alarming Incident

Perez Hilton gave no indication he was distressed in the weeks leading up to alarming behavior on a live stream that prompted a police response ... his most recent social media posts were positive -- and religious.

The gossip mogul shared a pair of clips to Instagram last month ... telling followers about some Bible passages he was reading.

Perez posted back on July 22 about a Bible passage that really struck him ... flashing a grin while reciting a few lines that were all about work.

He even makes a Rihanna comparison ... telling fans the Bible says to "Work, Work, Work, Work, Work" like her song -- except it put the suggestions out there hundreds of years before.

Perez brought a similar energy to a clip he posted on IG a couple days before ... reading from a book of Gospel testimonials. And in a video posted on Monday, he talked about Ariana Grande's decision to step out of the spotlight -- and ended the clip by giving well-wishes to anyone out there that's hurting.

Of course, it seems like Perez's life was more complicated than he was letting on ... as you know, cops showed up at his Miami-area home on Tuesday night after authorities received reports he was live streaming alarming behavior.

Law enforcement sources tell us he was transported from the home to the hospital. A TikTok live video Perez posted appeared to show him visibly bloodied.

Perez rose to fame in the early 2000s through his celebrity gossip website and later became a television personality known for covering Hollywood's biggest stars and scandals. He is the father of 3 young kids.
