PRESLEY GERBER, SON OF CINDY CRAWFORD AND RANDE GERBER, DIES AT 27

MODEL AND ONLY SON OF CINDY CRAWFORD AND RANDE GERBER DIES AT A LOS ANGELES REHABILITATION FACILITY

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

Gerber died on Sunday, September 20, at a rehabilitation facility in Los Angeles, according to records from the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner. His death was also confirmed by a representative for his family.

A cause of death has not been released. The medical examiner’s investigation remains ongoing, with an autopsy still to be completed.

In a statement provided to PEOPLE and other outlets, the family asked for privacy during what they described as an extremely difficult time.

THE ONLY SON OF CINDY CRAWFORD

Born in Beverly Hills in 1999, Presley was the eldest child and only son of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber.

He was also the older brother of model and actress Kaia Gerber.

Presley followed his mother’s path into fashion, signing with IMG Models as a teenager and beginning a modeling career while still young. He later appeared on runways and in campaigns for major fashion and commercial brands, including Calvin Klein and Dolce & Gabbana.

He also appeared alongside his mother in a Pepsi commercial connected with the Super Bowl in 2018.

Although he grew up in one of America’s most recognizable celebrity families, Presley increasingly used his public platform to speak about personal struggles and recovery.

PRESLEY SPOKE OPENLY ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH

In recent years, Presley had spoken publicly about mental health and substance-use struggles.

He created a series of social-media posts known as “Mental Health Mondays,” using his own experiences to encourage conversations about issues that people often keep private. Reuters reported that the goal was to encourage more open discussion about mental health.

In an earlier podcast appearance, Presley discussed his experiences with depression and other difficulties, saying he hoped that sharing what he had learned might help other people who were struggling.

His family had also spoken publicly about the challenges they had faced together.

In an interview published by Vogue in 2026, his sister Kaia discussed Presley’s long struggle with addiction and described how deeply such experiences can affect an entire family.

FAMILY ASKS FOR PRIVACY

The announcement of Presley’s death came as news organizations began reporting information from the medical examiner.

The family’s representative confirmed the death while asking the public and media to respect their privacy.

Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber have been married since 1998, and Presley was their first child. Kaia, his younger sister, has also built an international career in fashion and acting.

The family has not publicly announced further details about funeral arrangements or memorial plans.

A LIFE IN THE PUBLIC EYE

Presley spent much of his life surrounded by the fashion and entertainment industries but also worked to establish an identity of his own.

He began modeling as a teenager and appeared in runway shows and advertising campaigns before stepping increasingly into conversations about personal wellbeing and recovery.

His public comments about mental health gave followers a glimpse into challenges that existed behind the family’s highly visible public image.

Now, his death at just 27 has prompted an outpouring of condolences for the family.

For the moment, many details remain unknown, including the official cause and manner of death.

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s investigation is expected to provide further information once the necessary examinations are complete.

Presley’s family has asked for privacy as they grieve the loss of their son and brother.
