Charlotte D'Alessio, the model ex-girlfriend of Presley Gerber, has shared an emotional tribute following his death at the age of 27. Gerber, the only son of supermodels Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, died on Sunday at a rehabilitation facility in Los Angeles. His death is being investigated as a suspected overdose.

D'Alessio, 28, who dated Presley for approximately two years starting in 2018, posted a series of intimate photographs of the couple. She reflected on their time together, stating they shared a "pure love" and expressed anger about his passing. "You deserved more time. You deserved more life. Very angry ab this," she wrote on one photo.

In another message accompanying a black and white image of them embracing, D'Alessio wrote, "Love you Pres. always. Up there, down here. don't ever doubt that. we all love you so much. I hope you can feel it." Other shared images included a photo from a costume party with prop guns, Presley lounging with a dog, and a video clip of him walking near the ocean.

Presley Gerber had been open about his struggles with drug addiction and mental health over the past decade. In March, he posted about undergoing a "Pre-ibogaine flood dose" at a treatment clinic in Mexico. Ibogaine, a substance derived from an African shrub, is used to help with withdrawal symptoms and is believed to induce a profound reset. His parents and sister, Kaia Gerber, had praised his "courage" for sharing his journey with the treatment.

The Santa Monica Police Department confirmed that officers responded to a report of a possible overdose at the luxury rehab facility on Sunday morning. Emergency services were called, and Gerber was pronounced dead at the scene. Detectives are investigating the death as a suspected overdose, with no indication of foul play at this time. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's office has not yet determined the official cause of death.

According to reports, Gerber had been staying in a separate house on the rehab facility's grounds and had checked in the night before his death. His parents, Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, have requested privacy during this difficult time.

In the months leading up to his death, Gerber had spoken candidly about his mental health, including night terrors and panic attacks, and had been open about his fluctuating medication use. He noted that he had seen numerous psychiatrists and felt a lack of clear direction regarding his treatment. His sister, Kaia Gerber, recently spoke about the significant impact her brother's struggles had on their family, describing how it had affected everyone.

Presley Gerber, who began modeling at age 15, appeared in campaigns for brands such as Dolce & Gabbana and Calvin Klein. He also faced legal issues, including a 2019 arrest for driving under the influence.
