Presley Gerber spent time with family — parents Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, as well as sister Kaia — this summer before his tragic death, which occurred over the weekend. The sad news was first reported by TMZ, and the Los Angeles County confirmed Gerber’s death on Sunday at a rehabilitation center.
In May, 27-year-old Presley and his parents attended the launch of Kaia’s creative partnership and clothing collection with sustainable denim company RE/DONE in Los Angeles. In one of the photos, Kaia, dressed in jeans and a white t-shirt, hugs her brother, who was wearing jeans and a plaid shirt.
Presley’s struggles with addiction and mental health were known. In June, he and his parents attended the launch of We Are ENOUGH x Aviator Nation in Malibu, where Presley participated in a panel discussion about mental health. According to People, he spoke about how he learned to distinguish his inner voices from his true self. Presley noted, «I felt the most free when I was finally honest with myself». He also offered advice to those going through tough days, urging, «Move, no matter how you feel. Get outside. Catch some sunlight. If you don’t want to move, just lie on the grass».
This panel discussion became Presley’s last public appearance. His sister Kaia recently spoke about him in the August issue of Vogue, reflecting on his decade-long battle with addiction. She noted that such events in the family «level everyone out». Kaia also shared that perhaps this is why she began to see herself as «light» and didn’t want to ask for help, as it seemed too heavy for parents with two children facing issues.
Kaia expressed pride in her brother, who openly spoke about his struggles in December, noting that their parents had always been very private and did not share personal information. She emphasized that Presley became «an absolute teacher», - stating, «I will be very human for everyone».
