Cindy Crawford’s son Presley Gerber remembered as the ‘kindest’ after tragic death aged 27
Tributes have continued to pour in overnight, after news broke about the tragic death of supermodel Cindy Crawford’s son Presley Gerber.
Presley, the only son of Crawford and entrepreneur Rande Gerber, died at the age of 27, with his death now being investigated by police as a “suspected overdose”.
A representative for the family confirmed the tragic news to TMZ on Monday.
“The family is asking for privacy during this very difficult and painful time,” the representative told the outlet.
Brooklyn Beckham , the eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham, remembered Presley as the “kindest”.
“I am so heartbroken. Presley you were the kindest and we are going to miss you so much,” Brooklyn posted on Instagram, alongside a picture of them together.
TV personality and businesswoman Paris Hilton posted a heartfelt message on social media, calling Presley a “beautiful soul” with a “gentle heart” and describing him as a sweet, kind and genuine friend.
“I’ll always cherish the memories we shared — the laughs, the conversations and just being around you,” Hilton said on Instagram.
“You had such a gentle heart and there was something so special about you that anyone who was lucky enough to know you could feel.
“I hope you know how deeply loved you were and how many people cared about you.
Presley, brother of actress Kaia Gerber, was vocal about his struggles with addiction before his death yesterday at a rehab facility in Los Angeles.
Former US President Joe Biden’s son Hunter, who has also been open about his struggles with addiction and mental health, said he didn’t know Presley but had been “rooting for him from afar, the way you root for anyone you recognise battling the same demons”.
“Addiction is a disease that knows no bounds. It doesn’t care who your parents are, how much money you have, how loved you are, or how hard you’re trying,” Hunter wrote on X.
“And he was trying. He fought for his recovery in public, in front of a world that offers very little mercy to people who struggle where everyone can see.”
