Presley Gerber, the 27-year-old son of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, died Sunday at a Santa Monica treatment facility after being found unresponsive. His cause of death remains under investigation. Understandably, the family is asking for privacy during an unimaginable time.
What’s emerging is a portrait of a Hollywood friendship in action. George and Amal Clooney visited the family’s Los Angeles home on Tuesday, and a source close to the situation said the visit was“less about talking and more about just listening, comforting Cindy and Rande and being there for them.”George, who has known Presley his entire life, is reportedly“completely shattered”by the loss.
The Clooneys have also sent meals and made a long-term commitment to support the family, which shouldn’t surprise anyone who knows the history. George and Rande co-founded Casamigos tequila in 2013 after decades of friendship, and that bond clearly runs deeper than business. It’s a reminder that grief doesn’t get fixed in a week, and real support looks like showing up again and again.
If you could tell your closest friend one thing they could do for you in a hard moment, what would it be?
