Cindy Crawford Visits Daughter's Home Amid Grief for Son Presley
The supermodel was seen in Los Angeles following the family's public statement about Presley Gerber's death from a suspected overdose.
Cindy Crawford visited her daughter Kaia Gerber's Los Angeles home on Thursday, appearing somber as she continues to mourn the loss of her son, Presley Gerber. The 60-year-old supermodel was photographed wearing wide-leg jeans, a tan jacket, and brown boots, with sunglasses obscuring her eyes as she carried several bags into Gerber's residence.
This outing comes a month after Crawford, her husband Rande Gerber, and Kaia publicly shared their grief following Presley's death on September 20. He was 27. In a joint statement posted on Instagram, the family described themselves as "beyond heartbroken" and expressed gratitude for the "outpouring of love and support." They remembered Presley as a "sweet, beautiful soul" and spoke of their pride in how he "showed up in the world, with kindness and vulnerability."
Kaia Gerber also paid tribute to her older brother, sharing home video footage and an open letter on social media. She wrote of her struggle to articulate her grief, stating, "my articulation is no match against this, the magnitude of losing you."
Presley Gerber died from a suspected overdose after experiencing cardiac arrest at the Resolutions Living rehabilitation facility in Santa Monica. His remains were cremated days after his passing. In recent years, Presley had been open about his struggles with mental health and drug addiction. Video footage from the night before his death showed him appearing under the influence while giving a tour of the sober living home where he had been staying.
Insiders reported that Presley had reportedly used drugs on the Saturday before his death and expressed concern about losing control. His sober coach had arranged for him to stay at the facility temporarily before transferring to a rehabilitation center, but sources claimed he continued to use substances within the sober living home. A final confirmation of any substances involved in his death awaits the Medical Examiner's toxicology report.
In November of the previous year, Presley announced he was taking a break from social media to focus on his mental health. He later began sharing videos about his personal life and initiated a series called "Mental Health Mondays" on his Instagram. His death occurred weeks after Kaia spoke to Vogue about the impact of her brother's struggles on their family, noting that his openness about his challenges had a significant effect on everyone.
