Presley Gerber, the 27-year-old son of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, has died in a rehab facility. An autopsy was scheduled for Monday, September 21, and a cause of death has not been revealed. His family released a statement asking for privacy during this time.
Presley never hid his struggles. He spoke publicly about his mental health and substance abuse, sharing that he hoped his mistakes could spare others from the same pain. That honesty defined how many people saw him, not as a famous kid, but as someone figuring out how to heal out loud.
Celebrities quickly shared tributes, with Paris Hilton calling him a beautiful soul who was sweet, sensitive, kind and genuine. Jason Kennedy, Brody Jenner and others also posted memories. If you or someone you know needs support, SAMHSA’s helpline is available at 1-800-662-4357. How do you show up for the people you love who are struggling?
