Perez Hilton suffered multiple broken bones after falling on the night of his self-harm livestream earlier this month.
The celebrity blogger, 48, is still recovering from his wounds in the hospital after he cut himself with a knife during an August 4 livestream on TikTok.
And on Monday, his brother-in-law Tom revealed that his injuries are far more severe than initially thought during a new episode of The Perez Hilton Podcast with Chris Booker.
Tom – who is married to Hilton's sister, Barbara – said that Hilton fell several times during the night of his livestream, resulting in broken bones.
He added that doctors do not know yet what caused Hilton's 'mental break.'
Aside from the broken bones, doctors also discovered other 'unrelated' issues requiring treatment, which stemmed from Hilton's battle with sepsis in March.

After being asked about Hilton's current state of mind, Tom said he is 'lucid,' though he is unsure how much Hilton remembers from that night.
He added that doctors have been focusing on treating his physical injuries for now.
Tom went on to share that Hilton is not able to have electronics, but can call people from the hospital phone.
The Hollywood columnist was treated for an overdose, 'significant' blood loss and undisclosed injuries after the self-harm incident.
His sister Barbara, 42, discovered Hilton naked and covered in blood in the bathroom of the Miami home he shares with his mother Teresita Lavandeira, 72, and his three children.
She ushered the children into her car and drove away as Hilton chased them into the street and banged on the windows, according to a police report.
The gossip then locked himself inside the house and cut himself with a knife before first responders were able to coax him out and treat him for lacerations and an overdose.
