Presley Gerber, the son of supermodel Cindy Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber, has died at the age of 27.

Details of Death

The former model passed away on Sunday, 20 September, at a rehabilitation facility. The Los Angeles county medical examiner confirmed the date and location, though the exact cause of death has not been shared publicly. Allie Jenkins, a representative for Crawford and Rande Gerber, confirmed the death in an email statement and asked for privacy for the family during this difficult time. Presley was born in California in 1999 and was the older brother of model Kaia Gerber.

Career and Early Success

Presley signed with IMG Models at the age of 15 and made his runway debut in 2016 for Moschino's Resort show in Los Angeles. During his modeling career, he worked with major brands including Celine, Calvin Klein, Dolce & Gabbana, and Pepsi. In 2019, he was arrested for driving under the influence and received three years of probation, a DUI program, and two days of community service.

Mental Health and Addiction

In recent years, Presley openly discussed his battles with depression and addiction. In a deleted post from December 2025, he mentioned taking depressant medications for panic attacks. While speaking on the Studio 22 podcast in 2023, he noted that managing his mental health was a 24/7 job and expressed a desire to help others facing similar struggles without judgment. His sister Kaia later discussed his decade-long drug addiction in a September 2026 interview with Vogue.
