Presley Gerber, the only son of supermodel Cindy Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber, has died at age 27, according to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner.
The medical examiner confirmed that Gerber was found dead at a rehabilitation facility in Los Angeles. The exact date of death and circumstances surrounding the discovery have not been publicly released.
A family representative issued a statement on behalf of the grieving parents. “The family is asking for privacy,” the representative shared, as multiple outlets reported the request for space during what sources described as a painful time.
Presley was the elder of Crawford and Gerber’s two children, born in July 1999. His younger sister, Kaia Gerber, 23, has followed their mother into modeling and acting. The siblings grew up largely in Malibu, California, with parents who married in 1998 and became one of entertainment’s most enduring couples.
The Gerber family has not released additional statements through official channels or personal social media accounts since news of the death broke. Neither Cindy Crawford, 59, nor Rande Gerber, 62, has posted to Instagram, where both maintain active presences with millions of followers.
Presley had pursued modeling himself, walking runway shows and appearing in campaigns alongside his famous family. He also developed an interest in tattoo artistry, opening a private studio and sharing his work on social media in recent years. His public presence had diminished in the period leading up to his death.
The rehabilitation facility where Gerber was found has not been identified by name in available reports. Los Angeles County operates numerous licensed treatment centers, and private facilities catering to high-profile clients are common in the area. The medical examiner’s office typically investigates deaths occurring outside hospital settings.
The death marks a devastating turn for a family that had publicly supported Presley through previous challenges. In 2020, he spoke about undergoing treatment and his commitment to personal growth. “I was afraid of what might happen,” he admitted in an interview at that time, reflecting on his decision to seek help.
The modeling world and entertainment industry have begun reacting to the loss. Presley’s final posts to Instagram, where he maintained a verified account, showed his tattoo work and occasional family moments. He last shared a photo with his father in late 2024.
