Perez Hilton has
On Monday morning the 47-year-old blogger took to social media to share the news with his fans after he teased it for several days.
His video on YouTube said his very own 'stupidity' led to his illness.
'My stupidity landed me in the hospital for 21 days... It was the worst and best thing that's ever happened to me,' he began.
Perez said he had the for a week and took his medication, but did not take the medication with food. 'Because I have been taking all of this medication without food for a week, I developed an ulcer then a perforation and then S. People die of Sepsis.'
He also said he had intense stomach pain before he went into the hospital then could not walk and had to be taken by ambulance.
Hilton thanked the hospital that took care of him as he added he had ultrasounds before they could figure out the problem. 'Finally after five days I ended up having laparoscopic surgery,' he added.
He also said the infection was very serious and he had fluid in his lungs which led to another major procedure. At that point he developed a heart problem.
But the surgery was complicated as he developed another infection in the hospital, which he said was common.
Perez Hilton, 47, revealed on Monday his mystery illness: Sepsis
The media personality jumped to his main Instagram page on Saturday to give the update to his nearly 1 million followers; seen in 2022 in Beverly Hills
The star also broke down in tears several times as he detailed he had many accidents after he started eating food following weeks on a feeding tube.
And the worst part was a tube that was placed in him to suck up the infection and a Foley catheter. 'That was intense,' he added, as he said he lost a lot of weight.
'Now that I am home, I am not 100 percent,' he also shared as he showed a pick line into his arm. 'It's like a scary IV with two lines, and one goes to my heart.'
Before his reveal he said: 'One of the best experiences about this was God presented himself to me... then He did something, something that I can only call miraculous, it was real,' he said adding he grew up Catholic but was never a believer until now and he is 'grateful' for the experience.
This meeting with God led to him being a 'believer' and wanting to take his children to church and enroll them in a Catholic school, added Perez.
The star went on to talk about growing up in Cuba and not coming out to his father before his death. He broke down in tears when he talked about how his father was his 'everything.'
Also in the video Hilton said that he will not be working as hard as he used to and will make sure he sleeps at least eight hours a night.
He also talked at length about the joy of coming home to his children: 'They were so worried about their dad,' he added.
He appeared frail last week in images from when he was in the hospital
The star said he was 'ashamed' to work so hard to provide for his children but now he will slow down to have dinner with his children every night.
And he thanked his sister, who flew from Los Angeles to Las Vegas to help take care of him, and his mother.
Hilton also said he watched a lot of TV while in the hospital as he mentioned Britney Spears' arrest, Chuck Norris' death and the video of Taylor Frankie Paul which he found 'disturbing.'
He ended with, 'I am back and I send you all love.'
Last week the star, who is in 2004,
appeared frail as he revealed to fans that he was recently hospitalized for a mysterious health crisis.
The photos show Hilton with scars on his stomach, a plastic tube in his nose and an oxygen mask on as he wore a hospital gown.
One image showed the blogger with an oxygen mask over his face while others captured his mother visiting him. He sat in a chair next to the hospital bed while both he and his mom flashed a small smile towards the camera.
She also sweetly adjusted a pillow that was behind her son to make sure that he was comfortable.
Hilton was gifted balloons that had 'Hang In There... Get Well Soon' printed on the front.
The star additionally added to his followers that he will further talk about the health 'saga that I went through soon in full detail'
Hilton notably launched his celebrity gossip blog back in 2004 which was originally called PageSixSixSix.com. Shortly after, he changed the name to PerezHilton.com; seen with Lady Gaga in 2009 in L.A.
He also released a shirt design on his website in 2008 which questioned why the pop star didn't die instead of Heath Ledger.
