The adults in the room when a 3-year-old shot herself with an unattended gun tried covering up the bloody incident ... at least according to the woman who called 911.

In the dispatch audio, obtained by TMZ, the caller says she's not at the home but has been informed about the shooting and is rushing over to help. She's not sure if anyone in the home called 911, and the dispatcher can't seem to find any prior call about the shooting.

The caller begs for an ambulance to rush over to the home, adding ..."And, they are trying to hide it. That's why they didn't call fire rescue. I need an officer over there. I need fire rescue over there."

She also tells the dispatcher the people in the home are trying to take the kiddo to the hospital themselves and "they just let her shoot herself in the hand."

As we reported ... home surveillance video shows the young girl, Serenity, playing in the living room at her grandma's Florida home, jumping onto a couch where a loaded firearm is sitting in plain view.

Serenity grabs the pistol and peers over at a relative, Orlando Young, who is watching a football game on a laptop ... and then the gun goes off. The bullet strikes her hand, and she cries out in pain as chaos ensues.

The caller is on the phone with 911 as she races to the house, and she's still on the line when she pulls up ... and you hear her yelling at someone, "Why didn't they call fire rescue?!?"

Miami-Dade County police say family members took Serenity to a hospital ... and Young was arrested and charged with child neglect.

It's unclear if the caller is the girl's mother, Warnicia Williams, who told Local 10 News she wants Young held accountable.

Los adultos en la habitación cuando una niña de TRES años se disparó con una pistola desatendida trataron de encubrir el sangriento incidente, al menos según la mujer que llamó al 911.

En el audio, obtenido por TMZ, la persona que llama dice que ella no está en la casa, pero que ha sido informada sobre el tiroteo y se apresura a ayudar. Ella no está segura de si alguien en la casa llamó al 911, y el despachador no puede encontrar ninguna llamada anterior sobre el tiroteo.

La persona que llama pide una ambulancia y dice: "Están tratando de ocultarlo. Por eso no llamaron a los bomberos. Necesito un oficial allí. Necesito a los bomberos".

Ella también le dice al despachador que están tratando de llevar a la niña al hospital ellos mismos y "que acaban de dejar que se dispare en la mano".

Como informamos, el video de vigilancia de la casa muestra a la niña, Serenity, jugando en la sala de estar en la casa de su abuela en Florida, saltando sobre un sofá donde hay un arma de fuego cargada a la vista.

Serenity coge la pistola y mira a un pariente, Orlando Young, que está viendo un partido de fútbol en un ordenador portátil y entonces el arma se dispara. La bala impacta en su mano y ella grita de dolor mientras se desata el caos.

La persona que llama se mantiene en el teléfono con el 911 mientras corre a la casa, y todavía está en la línea cuando se detiene y se oye gritar a alguien, "¡¿Por qué no llamaron a los bomberos!?"

La policía del condado de Miami dice que miembros de la familia llevaron a Serenity a un hospital y que Young fue arrestado y acusado de negligencia infantil.

No está claro si la persona que llamó es la madre de la niña, Warnicia Williams, quien dijo a Local 10 News que quiere que Young rinda cuentas.

The sounds of Hamas hostage-taking came to life in horrifying focus, when the father of two of the victims played audio of the moment his children were taken.

CNN's Erin Burnett spoke with Ilan Regev, who had recorded a call he had with his 21-year-old daughter, Maya, just as Hamas terrorists zeroed in on them during the October 7th attack.

Maya and her 18-year-old brother, were at the music festival when gunfire erupted. You hear her scream, "Dad, they shot me. They shot me. He is killing us. Dad, he is killing us."

Ilan tells his daughter to hide, assuring her that he's coming to get her. He jumped in his car, but when he arrived on scene, he was prohibited from entering.

Los sonidos de la toma de rehenes por Hamás cobraron vida en un espeluznante momento, cuando el padre de dos de las víctimas reprodujo el audio del momento en que sus hijos fueron secuestrados.

Erin Burnett, de CNN, habló con Ilan Regev, que había grabado una llamada que mantuvo con su hija de 21 años, Maya, justo en el momento en que los terroristas de Hamás les apuntaban durante el ataque del 7 de octubre.

Maya y su hermano de 18 años, estaban en el festival de música cuando estalló el tiroteo. Se le oye gritar: "Papá, me han disparado. Me han disparado. Nos están matando. Papá, nos están matando".

Ilan le dice a su hija que se esconda, asegurándole que viene a buscarla. Saltó en su coche, pero cuando llegó a la escena, se le prohibió la entrada.

El apoyo de Tyler Perry para una anciana que lucha por conservar una propiedad de Carolina del Sur que su familia posee desde la época de la Guerra Civil, incluye una nueva casa con piscina.

Josephine Wright es la mujer de 93 años, que está enfrentada con un promotor de Hilton Head y su nieta Charise le dice a TMZ que Tyler se puso en contacto con la familia y le preguntó qué quería para su nueva casa, a lo que ella respondió, 5 dormitorios y una piscina.

Charise dice que Tyler estuvo de acuerdo y su equipo le envió los planos a Josephine, pero su abuela es muy particular y pidió algunos cambios menores, a los que él también accedió.

Como se puede ver en el plano, obtenido por TMZ, también hay una sala de juegos, comedor, oficina, sala de medios y un gran porche.

Nos han dicho que Tyler le está regalando una casa modular a Josephine, lo que significa que se construirá fuera del sitio y luego se trasladará a una parte separada de su propiedad, por lo que no tendrá que dejar la parcela de tierra que ha sido heredada por su familia durante generaciones.

Charise dice que parte de la actual casa de su abuela está construida sobre la sección de propiedad, que es objeto de disputa.

TMZ dio la noticia, Tyler compró la casa y los equipos de construcción se pondrán a trabajar en unas pocas semanas, una vez que todos los permisos estén listos.

Tyler prometió su apoyo a Josephine en julio después de enterarse de su difícil situación, y Charise nos dice que se puso en contacto con la familia a finales de agosto para poner en marcha el proyecto de su nuevo hogar.

En cuanto al enfrentamiento legal de Josephine con el desarrollador, se nos dice que ambas partes están todavía deliberando.

Charise nos dijo: "A mi abuela le gustaría dar las gracias a todas las personas que se fijaron en ella y no vieron a una pequeña dama frágil, sino a una gigante dispuesta a luchar para mantener lo que es legítimamente suyo. Ellá está muy agradecida, que Dios la bendiga".

Tyler Perry's lifeline for an elderly woman fighting to hang on to the South Carolina property her family's owned since the Civil War era includes a new home with a swimming pool.

Josephine Wright is the 93-year-old woman duking it out with a developer in Hilton Head and her granddaughter, Charise, tells TMZ ... Tyler got in touch with the family and asked Josephine what she wanted in a new home, and she told him 5 bedrooms plus a pool.

Charise says Tyler agreed and his team sent Josephine the blueprints. But, she says her grandma is very particular and asked for a few minor changes ... and he obliged.

As you can see in the blueprint, obtained by TMZ, there's also a game room, dining room, home office, media room and a big porch.

We're told Tyler is gifting Josephine a modular home ... meaning it will be built off-site and then moved to a separate part of her expansive property, so she won't have to leave the plot of land that's been passed down by her family for generations.

Charise says part of her grandma's current home is built on the section of property that is the subject of a bitter land dispute.

TMZ broke the story ... Tyler's buying the home and construction crews will get to work in a few weeks once all the permits are squared away.

Tyler pledged his support to Josephine back in July after learning of her plight ... and Charise tells us he reached out to the family in late August to get the ball rolling on the new home.

As for Josephine's legal showdown with the developer ... we're told both sides are still in deliberations.

Charise tells TMZ ... "My Grandmother would like to thank all the people all over the world who looked at her and didn't see a little fragile lady but a giant ready to fight to keep what's rightfully hers. She is humbled and so appreciative, God bless."

A man known in social justice circles has claimed to have helped with the release of two American hostages amid the Israel-Hamas conflict -- but the family's calling BS.

Shaun King has been trending all weekend over a post he threw up Friday -- which seemed to be him taking credit, at least in part, for the safe return of Judith Raanan and her teenage daughter, Natalie Raanan.

King said he was grateful Natalie and her mother had been freed, adding ... "As I said last week, Natalie and her family have been supporters of mine and have protested police violence in America alongside us."

He continued, "I am also thankful for the Qatari government for helping to negotiate this. Dozens of us worked frantically behind the scenes to help make this possible."

King finished by saying ... "I spoke to Natalie's family this afternoon and they are anxiously awaiting more updates."

Well, his version of events apparently doesn't quite align with what the Raanan family's aware of -- 'cause they're saying they straight up don't know this guy. The family released a statement, saying ... "Today we came across bizarre posts on the Instagram page of one Shaun King, who turns out to have millions of followers, who claims that our relative Natalie Raanan supports the anti-Israeli messages he uploads to his page."

The family goes on ... "First and foremost, we make it clear that he is lying! Our family does not and did not have anything to do with him, neither directly nor indirectly. Not to him and not to anything he claims to represent." They go on to say Natalie has never met Shaun, and she first learned about him today amid all the speculation ... of which there's been much.

The Raanan family says folks shouldn't buy what King's selling ... and that his claims amount to misinformation -- which they say is spreading like wildfire. They also note they have more family members and loved ones in captivity that they're working to have released.

Now, as for King ... he's already defending himself by now sharing who exactly he spoke with -- and as it turns out, he says it was a brother of Natalie's ... going to post receipts of conversations he says he had with the guy, detailing his efforts to have her freed.

He also claims he just spoke to the Raanan family -- presumably the same people who released this blistering statement -- and insists they're being forced to distance themselves from him. So, at this point ... there seems to be conflicting accounts over what's going on.

12:57 PM PT -- A rep for Cher reiterated her denial about the kidnapping claim to TMZ, telling us ... "Not true thanks for checking."

Cher says she had nothing to do with the alleged "kidnapping" of her adult son -- this despite the fact her daughter-in-law has claimed the whole thing was orchestrated by mom.

The singer was asked point blank about this by the New York Post, which did a new interview with her chronicling her career and legacy. During the chat, they brought up this bizarre story that surfaced last month ... courtesy of Marieangela King (aka Queenie).

In recent court docs pertaining to her ongoing divorce from Cher's son, Elijah Blue Allman, King made a startling allegation ... namely, that Cher supposedly had Elijah forcibly taken from his hotel room in late 2022 ... this while he and MK were attempting to reconcile.

Per Daily Mail, Elijah had been staying at a hotel in L.A. for several months at the time -- allegedly battling substance abuse -- when this staged abduction/intervention took place ... so says King in a declaration she made in court. She claims that, as they were talking in his room, four men stormed in and snatched Elijah against his will ... dragging him away.

King alleges that one of the men revealed to her that Elijah's mom, Cher, had actually hired them -- adding in her court paperwork, "I am currently unaware of my husband’s wellbeing or whereabouts. I am very concerned and worried about him." She also said she believed he was at a rehab facility at an undisclosed location ... without access to his phone.

Now, one month after all these revelations surfaced ... Cher is outright denying any involvement. She told the Post, "I didn’t do it, and if I did it, I wouldn’t say I did it."

She adds, "You never stop being a mom -- you go to the end, you go to the mattresses when you’re trying to save your children. But I didn’t do it. And if I did it, I wouldn’t care to tell you." Interestingly, this echoes what she told People about 2 weeks ago.

At the time, she said ... "I’m a mother. This is my job -- one way or another, to try to help my children. You do anything for your children. Whenever you can help them, you just do it because that’s what being a mother is. But it’s joy, even with heartache -- mostly, when you think of your children, you just smile and you love them, and you try to be there for them."

FWIW ... Elijah's father, Gregg Allman, died in 2017 from complications tied to liver cancer. Also, we've reached out to Cher's team for further comment -- so far, no word back.

Cher dice que no tuvo nada que ver con el supuesto "secuestro" de su hijo, que ya es un adulto, esto a pesar de que su propia nuera asegura que todo fue orquestado por ella.

El New York Post le hizo una nueva entrevista sobre su carrera y legado, y abordó el tema sin rodeos. Durante la conversación, sacaron a relucir la extraña historia que salió a la luz el mes pasado, cortesía de Marieangela King (aka Queenie).

En recientes documentos judiciales relativos al divorcio en curso con el hijo de Cher, Elijah Blue Allman, King hace un alegato sorprendente y es que supuestamente Cher habría sacado a Elijah a la fuerza de su hotel a finales de 2022. Esto, mientras él y Marie King estaban tratando de reconciliarse.

Según Daily Mail, Elijah se había estado quedando en un hotel de Los Ángeles durante varios meses, donde había estado supuestamente luchando contra el abuso de sustancias, cuando fue secuestrado e intervenido. Así lo explica King en una declaración que hizo ante el tribunal, donde asegura que mientras hablaban en su habitación, cuatro hombres irrumpieron y se lo llevaron en contra de su voluntad, arrastrándolo.

King alega que uno de los hombres le dijo que la madre de Elijah, Cher, los había contratado, añadiendo en su documentación judicial: "Actualmente, no estoy al tanto del bienestar o el paradero de mi marido. Estoy muy preocupada por él". También dijo que creía que estaba en un centro de rehabilitación en un lugar no revelado, sin acceso a su teléfono.

Ahora, un mes después de que se hicieran públicas estas revelaciones, Cher niega rotundamente cualquier participación: "Yo no lo hice, y si lo hubiese hecho, no lo diría", dijo al Post.

Y añade: "Nunca dejas de ser madre: llegas hasta el final para salvar a tus hijos. Pero yo no lo hice. Y si lo hubiese hecho, no me importaría decírtelo". Curiosamente, esto se hace eco de lo que dijo a People hace 2 semanas.

En ese momento, aseguró: "Soy madre. Ese es mi trabajo, de una manera u otra, el tratar de ayudar a mis hijos. Haces cualquier cosa por ellos. Siempre que puedes ayudarlos, lo haces porque eso es ser madre. Pero es con alegría, incluso cuando duele, sobre todo, cuando piensas en tus hijos, solo sonríes y los amas y tratas de estar ahí para ellos".

NLE Choppa's mom is worried sick for her son, saying she hasn't heard from him in hours ... and asking anyone who may have contact to get in touch with her ASAP.

Choppa's mom, Angela Potts, posted the concerning message Friday, writing, "Y’all help me pray over my child. He plans on moving back to Cottonwood where we worked hard to get out of just for a mixtape SMH! I ain’t talked to this boy in hours and he usually doesn’t do this. One thing I know about my son is that he doesn’t go ghost for any reason."

She continues with a message to her son, "Whatever your working on I pray GOD is guiding you. If y’all hear from him PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP ! To the fans he wants to please thanks a lot."

What's unclear is whether or not NLE gave Angela -- who is also his manager -- a reason to believe he could be in trouble, or if he's just faced a lot of pressure in keeping up with his own career.

We should note ... a message on NLE's Instagram story (posted by management) also encouraged fans to reach out to Angela if they see the rapper.

We're getting a first look at the American mother and daughter hostages just released by Hamas terrorists -- both looking alive and well -- escorted by members of Israel's armed forces.

Judith Raanan and her teenage daughter, Natalie, can be seen in a new photo shared by the Israel Defense Forces, while holding the hands of a man in a flak jacket.

As we reported, Judith and Natalie were visiting Israel from Chicago earlier this month to celebrate a family member's birthday and the Jewish holiday season when Hamas attacked.

Hamas said in a statement they released the mother and daughter for "humanitarian reasons" ... claiming it was done to prove to the world that "claims made by Biden and his fascist administration are false and baseless."

Quavo's time away from music last year to mourn the death of his nephew Takeoff left an incomplete collaboration on the table ... but now, he's finished it up.

Up-and-coming rapper Swxm dropped his new single "Swim" Friday which includes a vibrant feature from Quavo ... a track he recorded in Spring 2022 after Swxm sent the track over to one of their mutual friends.

Swxm and Quavo shot the video that summer in both Long Island and Atlanta ... and he and his team worked diligently with clearance attorney lawyer Bob Celestin to get the appropriate paperwork.

Tragedy struck near the day Quavo's label QC/Motown was to sign the side artist waiver agreement -- Takeoff's death on Nov. 1, 2022 -- leaving the song to dwell in purgatory.

Swxm's team tells us Quavo's team reached out just last week excited about dropping the visual, and now we've got the song. Early reactions are good, and the vibes are classic Quavo.

Directed by WillC & Richie4K, the breezy record addresses topics of floating and pushing through life's adversity ... we're told making for an easy bond between Swxm and Quavo.

Swxm lost his mom ahead of the 2020 pandemic and we're told he stays busy by pouring his all into his music.

Since losing Takeoff, Quavo has also been on a mission for the better ... he and his Rocket Foundation just stormed Washington D.C. meeting with members of Congress in an effort to thwart gun violence.

Brandon Miller -- the ex-Crimson Tide star who was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft -- has been sued for wrongful death by the family of the woman who was killed in a shooting earlier this year near the University of Alabama.

The lawsuit, obtained by TMZ Sports, was filed in a federal court on Friday by Jamea Harris' mother, DeCarla Heard ... nearly 10 months after Harris was allegedly murdered by Miller's friend.

In the suit, Heard claims Miller played a significant role in her daughter's Jan. 14 death ... alleging Miller was the one who came to the location of the shooting with the firearm that Michael Davis then used to kill Harris.

Heard claims Miller, Davis and former Tide basketball player Darius Miles had all been together earlier in the night at a row of clubs in Tuscaloosa, when Miller left because a line to get into one of the bars was too long. She says Miles left his gun in Miller's ride before the basketball phenom took off.

A short time later, though, Heard says Davis and Miles left the bar ... and got into a dispute with Harris, her boyfriend and her cousin. She claims in the suit Miles then texted Miller, now a Charlotte Hornet, asking for his "joint" because "someone was 'fakin',' meaning using words in an aggressive manner with no intention or ability to back them up."

Heard says when Miller showed up minutes later, Miles then retrieved the gun from the hooper's ride, before he handed it off to Davis. She alleges Davis then approached Harris, her BF and her cousin in a car and fired off rounds -- striking Harris with at least one in the face, killing her.

Heard is seeking damages ... claiming Davis, Miles and Miller "should have known that bringing a dangerous weapon to a dispute and discharging said weapon would likely result in harm to those around them."

For his part, Miller's attorney said in February that Miller "never touched the gun, was not involved in its exchange to Mr. Davis in any way, and never knew that illegal activity involving the gun would occur." He was never charged with a crime.

As for Miles and Davis, both are facing capital murder charges over their alleged roles in Harris' death.

An American mother and daughter who were taken hostage by Hamas terrorists have now been released.

Hamas aggressors say they've released the U.S. citizens "for humanitarian reasons," according to a statement given to The Times of Israel ... in an alleged effort to "prove to the American people and the world that the claims made by Biden and his fascist administration are false and baseless."

The American mother and daughter believed to have been taken hostage in Israel are Judith Raanan and her 18-year-old daughter, Natalie -- who went missing after Hamas attacked Kibbutz Nahal Oz over 2 weeks ago.

The 2 traveled to Israel from a Chicago suburb to celebrate a relative's birthday and the Jewish holiday season when they went radio silent ... and as you know, what followed was days of death, destruction, and terror happening in the Middle East.

Judith and Natalie's family have reportedly been informed about the release, and according to CNN, they were handed over to the Red Cross and are allegedly "on their way out," citing sources familiar with the negotiations.

Una madre e hija estadounidenses que habían sido tomadas como rehenes por terroristas de Hamás han sido liberadas, según funcionarios del grupo armado.

Los agresores de Hamás dicen que han liberado a las ciudadanas estadounidenses "por razones humanitarias", según una declaración dada a The Times of Israel, en un supuesto esfuerzo por "demostrar al pueblo estadounidense y al mundo que las afirmaciones hechas por Biden y su administración fascista son falsas y sin fundamento".

Se cree que la madre e hija que fueron tomadas como rehenes en Israel son Judith Raanan y su hija de 18 años, Natalie, quienes desaparecieron después de que Hamás atacara el kibutz Nahal Oz hace más de dos semanas.

Las dos viajaron a Israel desde un suburbio en Chicago para celebrar el cumpleaños de un pariente y las fiestas religiosas cuando no se supo más de ellas, y como bien saben, lo que vino a continuación fueron días de muerte, destrucción y terror en el Medio Oriente

There's a chance Danny Masterson will never see life outside prison walls again, and he agrees, unsurprisingly, that Bijou Phillips should have custody of their 9-year-old daughter.

In legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Danny agrees to give his estranged wife, Bijou, both legal and physical custody of the couple's daughter, Fianna. He asks for visitation, but obviously, that'll be done under the supervision of prison officials if it's granted.

Danny lists the couple's date of separation as September 15 -- just one week after he was sentenced to 30 years to life -- for two counts of forcible rape. The two were married for 11 years, tying the knot in October 2011.

Bijou's filing came as a bit of a surprise considering she'd stuck by Danny's side throughout his criminal trial and even the retrial.

In the filing, Bijou's attorney, Peter A. Lauzon, tells TMZ, "Ms. Phillips has decided to file for divorce from her husband during this unfortunate time. Her priority remains with her daughter."

The statement continues, "This period has been unimaginably hard on the marriage and the family. Mr. Masterson was always present for Ms. Phillips during her most difficult times of her life. Ms. Phillips acknowledges that Mr. Masterson is a wonderful father to their daughter."
