Presley Gerber, the 27-year-old son of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, has died. News broke Sunday, September 20, with no cause of death revealed. His family released a statement asking for privacy during what they described as a very difficult and painful time. Presley had been open about his mental health and his struggles with substance abuse, telling a podcast in 2023 that he hoped sharing his mistakes could help others.
Tributes came in quickly from across the entertainment world. Paris Hilton wrote that she is completely heartbroken and still can’t believe it’s real. Brooklyn Beckham shared that Presley was the kindest and will be missed so much. The Gerber and Crawford family has been part of the public eye for decades, which is part of why this loss is resonating so widely.
