Presley Gerber, Son of Cindy Crawford, Dies at 27

Presley Gerber, the 27-year-old son of supermodel Cindy Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber, died on Sunday, September 20, at a rehabilitation facility in Los Angeles, according to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner. The cause of death has not been disclosed, and an autopsy was pending at the time of reporting.

Gerber was born in Beverly Hills in 1999 and pursued a modeling career from his teenage years, signing with IMG Models at age 15. He made his runway debut in 2016 for Moschino's resort show in Los Angeles and subsequently worked with major fashion brands including Burberry, Dolce & Gabbana, Bottega Veneta, Calvin Klein, Celine, Tommy Hilfiger, Ralph Lauren, and Pepsi. He was also represented by DNA Model Management alongside his sister, model and actress Kaia Gerber.

In recent years, Gerber became known for publicly discussing his struggles with mental health, depression, and substance abuse. He launched an Instagram series called "Mental Health Mondays," where he shared candid videos about his recovery journey and advocacy work. In a December 2025 video, he disclosed his use of prescription medications including antidepressants, Xanax, and Valium for panic attacks. In an appearance on the Studio 22 podcast in 2023, he stated: "[Mental health] is an issue. It is such a big part of my life. It's a 24/7 job, and there's so much to it." He also worked with nonprofits including A Sense of Home, an Los Angeles homelessness charity.

In January 2019, Gerber was arrested for driving under the influence. He was subsequently sentenced to three years of probation and ordered to complete a DUI program and two days of community service. A family representative confirmed his death, stating: "The family is asking for privacy during this very difficult and painful time." His sister Kaia spoke about her brother's decade-long struggle with addiction in an interview with American Vogue published in September 2026, noting the impact on the family dynamic.
