Presley Gerber, the son of supermodel Cindy Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber, died Sunday at a rehabilitation facility in California. He was 27 years old. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner confirmed the death, and no cause has been released.
The news comes just months after Cindy Crawford spoke publicly about the close bond between Presley and his sister, model and actress Kaia Gerber. In a May interview with People, she said,“Nothing makes a parent prouder than when your kids like each other and love each other.”The family had also worked together on a Vuori campaign earlier this year.
Presley had been open about his journey with addiction and mental health. In March, he posted about returning to treatment, writing,“Praying it’s the last time I have to come back.”Kaia, who has been candid about her own mental health, once told Vogue that her brother’s transparency taught her what honesty looks like. If you or someone you care about is affected by addiction, SAMHSA’s National Helpline is available 24/7 at 1-800-662-HELP (4357).
