Celebrities have shared heartfelt tributes in honor of Cindy Crawford‘s son, Presley Gerber, who died suddenly at age 27.
News broke on Sunday, September 20, that Crawford and husband Rande Gerber‘s son died in a rehab facility. A cause of death has yet to be revealed. (An autopsy was scheduled for Monday, September 21.)
“The family is asking for privacy during this very difficult and painful time,” Presley’s loved ones noted in a statement to Us.
Before his death, Presley often spoke about his battle with substance abuse and other mental health challenges.
“Having struggled with mental health, depression and some other things that come along with that, I think that whether I help one person or a hundred people get out of that place that I was in at one point in my life, that’s all I need to do,” he said during a 2023 appearance on the “Studio 22” podcast.

Presley added: “It’s a huge part of my life. It’s a 24/7 job and there’s so much to it. That’s what I really want to do — help people get out of whether you’re depressed [or] struggling with something that’s having a negative effect on your body. … What I hope I can do is have made the mistakes for some other people, so they don’t have to make the same mistakes that I made.”
