Presley Gerber, Son of Cindy Crawford, Dies at 27

Presley Gerber, son of supermodel Cindy Crawford and entrepreneur Rande Gerber, has died at the age of 27. His death was announced on Sunday, following years of documented struggles with drugs, panic attacks, and mental health issues.

Social media was flooded with messages from friends mourning his passing. Brooklyn Beckham shared a photo of himself and Gerber, writing, "I am so heartbroken. Presley you were the kindest and we are going to miss you somuch x we love you."

Paris Hilton also paid tribute, posting an Instagram story with a picture of herself and Gerber. "I'm completely heartbroken. I still can't believe this is real... Presley, you were such a beautiful soul. So sweet, sensitive, kind and genuine. I cared about you so much, and I'm going to miss you more than words can say," she wrote. Hilton added that she would "cherish the memories" they made together, describing him as having a "gentle heart."

Brody Jenner commented on Gerber's final Instagram post, sharing a dove and broken heart emoji with the words, "love you brother."

Gerber had openly discussed his mental health challenges and in March, he shared details about undergoing an Ibogaine treatment in Mexico. Ibogaine is a substance derived from an African shrub, known for its potential to aid in withdrawal symptoms and reset brain pathways. At the time, his mother, Cindy Crawford, responded to his post with "You are a warrior! Walked thru the fire to find yourself! So proud!" His sister, Kaia Gerber, added, "That's my brother. I am so damn proud."

Gerber's last active post on his main Instagram feed was last month, where he modeled clothing from the brand Vuori. Paris Hilton had commented on this post just hours before news of his death, writing, "Love you bro."
