Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber have publicly mourned the loss of their son, Presley Gerber, who died on September 20 at the age of 27. Presley, who had been openly confronting his addiction and mental health challenges in recent years, passed away at a rehabilitation facility in Santa Monica, California, from a suspected overdose.

In a joint statement posted on Instagram, Crawford and Gerber described their grief as “beyond heartbroken” and expressed pride in how Presley carried himself with kindness and vulnerability throughout his life. They also conveyed gratitude for the widespread support and compassion they have received from both friends and strangers during this difficult time.

Presley’s sister, model Kaia Gerber, 25, also paid tribute to her brother on social media, sharing a childhood video and photograph of the siblings together. She reflected on the deep bond they shared, writing that being Presley’s sister was her favorite aspect of herself. Despite the pain and knowing the possible outcome, Kaia said she would choose their relationship “all over again” without hesitation.

The family has been candid about Presley’s struggles, including a near-fatal fentanyl overdose in 2024 that brought his addiction into public view. Both Presley and Kaia have pursued modeling careers, following in the footsteps of their parents. Cindy Crawford, 60, and Rande Gerber have underscored their commitment to honoring Presley’s memory and acknowledge the impact he had on those around him.

The loss has drawn an outpouring of condolences from the public, reflecting the widespread empathy for those dealing with addiction and mental health issues. The Gerber family’s statements emphasize both the pain of their loss and the enduring love they hold for Presley.
