Presley Gerber, the only son of supermodel Cindy Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber, has died at the age of 27.
Presley died on Sunday, September 20, 2026, at a rehabilitation facility in Los Angeles County, according to records from the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner.
A representative for Crawford, Rande Gerber and their daughter, model and actress Kaia Gerber, confirmed his death and asked the public to respect the family’s privacy.
“The family is asking for privacy during this very difficult and painful time,” the representative said.
The circumstances surrounding Presley’s death remain under investigation. Santa Monica police said detectives are investigating the death as a suspected overdose, but there is currently no indication of foul play.
The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner said an autopsy had been performed, but the cause and manner of death were deferred pending additional testing. Officials said the investigation was still in its early stages and that it could take months before an official cause of death is determined.
Presley was born in California in 1999 and followed his mother into modelling. He signed with IMG Models as a teenager and made his runway debut in 2016. He later worked with major fashion brands including Calvin Klein, Dolce & Gabbana, Moschino and Celine.
He also appeared alongside his mother in a recreation of Crawford’s famous 1992 Pepsi commercial for the 2018 Super Bowl.
In recent years, Presley had spoken publicly about his struggles with mental health and substance abuse. He shared his experiences with depression, addiction and recovery on social media and in interviews, including a series called “Mental Health Mondays.”
His sister Kaia had also spoken about his struggles. In a September 2026 interview with Vogue, she described his battle with drug addiction as a decade-long struggle and discussed its impact on their family.
Cindy Crawford had continued to publicly support her son. In July, she shared a photograph of Presley as a child and wrote about her pride in the man he had become.
Presley is survived by his parents, Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, and his sister, Kaia Gerber.
