                    "NEED TO KNOW\nPresley Gerber has died at the age of 27He was the son of supermodel Cindy Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber, and the brother of model and actress Kaia GerberPresley began working as a model as a teenager\n\n Presley Gerber has died. He was 27.\n\n\n Presley died on Sunday, Sept. 20, at a rehab facility, according to Los Angeles County Medical Examiner records obtained by PEOPLE. TMZ was first to report the news.\n\n\n A representative for Presley\u2019s mother, Cindy Crawford; father, Rande Gerber and sister, Kaia Gerber, tells PEOPLE, \u201cThe family is asking for privacy during this very difficult and painful time.\u201d\n\n\n An autopsy has yet to be completed, TMZ reported.\n\n\n \n (From left to right): Presley Gerber, Kaia Gerber, Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber in May 2026.\nGilbert Flores/WWD via Getty\u00a0\n\n Presley was the son of model Crawford and Rande, a businessman. He was also the brother of model and actress Kaia.\n\n\n Born in Beverly Hills, Calif., in 1999, Presley was a model himself. He was charged with a DUI in December 2019, and in 2020, he got a tattoo on his face that read, \u201cMISUNDERSTOOD.\u201d (A year later, he appeared to have had it removed.)\n\n\n Before his death, Gerber began opening up about his struggles with mental health and substance abuse.\n\n\n \u201cHaving 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\u2019s all I need to do,\u201d he said on the Studio 22 podcast.\n\n\n \n From left: Rande Gerber, Kaia Gerber, Presley Gerber and Cindy Crawford in 2016.\nPatrick McMullan via Getty\n\n \u201c[Mental health] is an issue. It is such a big part of my life. It\u2019s a 24/7 job, and there\u2019s so much to it,\u201d Presley continued. \u201cThat\u2019s really what I want to do: help people, whether you\u2019re depressed, you\u2019re struggling with something that is having a negative effect on your body. I mean it could be anything, and there\u2019s no judgment.\u201d\n\n\n He added, \u201cI\u2019ve seen a lot of stuff and I\u2019ve learned a lot of things. What I hope I can do is have made the mistakes for some other people, so they don\u2019t have to make the same mistakes that I made.\u201d\n\n\n Presley started sharing \u201cMental Health Mondays\u201d videos on his Instagram. In one of the videos, posted in 2024, he talked about being in recovery circles and how to find common ground with others.\n\n\n Another video, posted in July 2025, was about integrating healthy habits into his life. He said that he grew up a \u201cvery active\u201d kid, playing sports and taking part in surfing, water polo and swimming.\n\n\n \n Presley Gerber on the runway in 2018.\nANGELA WEISS/AFP via Getty\n\n But when he began working, he said, sports fell by the wayside: \u201cThe quality of life rapidly decreased.\u201d He added that it took \u201c10 years\u201d to figure out that he needed to reconnect with physical activity again.\n\n\n In a since-deleted Instagram video posted in December 2025, Presley opened up about the several depressant medications he was on, including Buprenorphine, Xanax and Valium, to treat his \u201cpanic attacks.\u201d\n\n\n \n Presley Gerber (left) and Kaia Gerber in 2024.\nKevork Djansezian/Getty\u00a0\n\n \u201cUnfortunately, I\u2019ve had a lot of loss in many different forms recently, so that is not an excuse, but it\u2019s the reason why I am where I\u2019m at now,\u201d he said, adding in the same clip that he wanted his video to reach \u201cpeople in many ways.\u201d\n\n\n \u201cA.

He was 27.\n\n\n Presley died on Sunday, Sept. 20, at a rehab facility, according to Los Angeles County Medical Examiner records obtained by PEOPLE. TMZ was first to report the news.\n\n\n A representative for Presley\u2019s mother, Cindy Crawford; father, Rande Gerber and sister, Kaia Gerber, tells PEOPLE, \u201cThe family is asking for privacy during this very difficult and painful time.\u201d\n\n\n An autopsy has yet to be completed, TMZ reported.\n\n\n \n (From left to right): Presley Gerber, Kaia Gerber, Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber in May 2026.\nGilbert Flores/WWD via Getty\u00a0\n\n Presley was the son of model Crawford and Rande, a businessman.

I mean it could be anything, and there\u2019s no judgment.\u201d\n\n\n He added, \u201cI\u2019ve seen a lot of stuff and I\u2019ve learned a lot of things. What I hope I can do is have made the mistakes for some other people, so they don\u2019t have to make the same mistakes that I made.\u201d\n\n\n Presley started sharing \u201cMental Health Mondays\u201d videos on his Instagram.
