Presley Gerber, the only son of supermodel Cindy Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber, has died at 27. His death was confirmed by a family representative, with Los Angeles County Medical Examiner records stating that he died Sunday, September 20, at a rehabilitation facility. His family has asked for privacy during what they described as an “extremely difficult and painful time.” A cause of death has not been disclosed, and an autopsy is pending. 💔

Born in 1999, Presley followed his mother into modeling as a teenager. He walked runways for major fashion houses including Moschino and Dolce & Gabbana and appeared in campaigns for brands such as Calvin Klein. In 2018, he also appeared alongside Cindy in a recreation of her famous Pepsi commercial. His younger sister, Kaia Gerber, has also built a career as a model and actress.

In recent years, Presley spoke publicly about mental health and substance-use struggles, including through his “Mental Health Mondays” videos, where he encouraged more open conversations about difficult experiences. His sister Kaia discussed the impact of his long-running addiction struggles on their family in an August interview with Vogue, saying, “When something like that happens in a family, it kind of levels everyone.”

Despite his struggles, Presley had continued trying to share his experiences in hopes of helping others feel less alone. His death comes as a devastating loss for his parents, sister and those close to him. For now, the family is asking for privacy and space to grieve, while authorities continue their investigation into what happened. 🕊️
