Cindy Crawford was seen visiting her daughter Kaia Gerber's Los Angeles home on Thursday, continuing to navigate the grief following the death of her son, Presley Gerber. The supermodel appeared somber as she arrived, dressed in jeans, a tan jacket, and brown boots, with sunglasses obscuring her eyes. She carried multiple bags into Gerber's residence.
This sighting comes after Crawford, her husband Rande Gerber, and Kaia Gerber publicly addressed Presley's passing for the first time on Sunday. In a joint statement shared on Instagram, the family expressed being "beyond heartbroken" and feeling "so blessed to have Presley in our lives for 27 years." They described him as a "sweet, beautiful soul" and noted their pride in "how he showed up in the world, with kindness and vulnerability." The statement concluded with gratitude for the "outpouring of love and support" and a message of enduring love for their son.
Kaia Gerber also honored her older brother with a heartfelt tribute, sharing childhood home videos and an open letter. She expressed the inadequacy of words to convey her grief, stating, "my articulation is no match against this, the magnitude of losing you. I am, quite literally, down on my f***ing knees."
Presley Gerber died on September 20 at the age of 27 from a suspected overdose. Reports indicate he had gone into cardiac arrest while staying at a rehabilitation facility. His remains were cremated days after his death. Presley had been open about his struggles with mental health and drug addiction in recent years. Footage surfaced showing him appearing to be under the influence during a tour of the sober living facility he had recently entered. Insiders claimed he had used drugs inside the facility after his sober coach brought him there for a temporary stay, intending to move him to a rehab facility later that week.
Last November, Presley announced he was stepping back from social media to focus on his mental health. He later began sharing content about his personal life and launched "Mental Health Mondays" on Instagram. His death occurred weeks after Kaia Gerber spoke about the impact of her brother's struggles on their family, telling Vogue that such experiences "level everyone" and that her brother's openness taught them about embracing vulnerability.
