Presley Gerber, the 27-year-old son of supermodel Cindy Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber, has died, according to Los Angeles County Medical Examiner records. TMZ first reported the news, confirming he passed away in a rehab facility. An autopsy has not yet been completed, and representatives for the family have been contacted for comment.
The family released a short statement asking for privacy during what they described as a very difficult and painful time. The loss comes weeks after Presley’s sister, Kaia Gerber, spoke candidly in a Vogue interview about his addiction battle and what growing up in their Malibu household was like. She said that when something like that happens in a family, it kind of levels everyone.
