Model Presley Gerber Dies at 27 in Los Angeles

Presley Gerber, 27, the model and son of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, died Sunday, September 20, 2026, at a rehabilitation facility, according to records from the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner. TMZ was first to report the news. An autopsy had not been completed and no cause of death was determined. The family released a statement to TMZ asking for privacy during this very difficult and painful time. One month earlier, sister Kaia Gerber discussed his addiction and mental health struggles in a Vogue interview published August 11, 2026. "When something like that happens in a family, it kind of levels everyone," she said. She said she self-identified as the easy one and never wanted to ask for help because it felt like too much to have two children who were needing. She called her brother an absolute teacher who would be very human for everyone. In December 2025 Presley posted an Instagram sauna video listing 1mg of buprenorphine twice daily, benzodiazepines, Xanax and Valium. "I feel like honesty is the best policy," he said. In May 2026 he posted a paddle boarding photo thanking his father. CONTESTED: Available coverage shows no dispute over the core facts of the death, timing, or location. The cause of death remains unresolved pending the autopsy.
