Crawford's son, dies aged 27      (Presley Walker Gerber wearing black in frongt of a pink and purple backdrop attends the World Premiere of "Infinite Icon: A Visual Memoir" at AMC The Grove 14 on January 20, 2026 in Los Angeles, California)    Image source,  Getty Images  Image caption,  Presley Gerber became a model like his mother and sister       By Chris Graham     Published 21 September 2026, 06:33 BST        Updated 3 hours ago       Presley Gerber, the son of supermodel Cindy Crawford, has died at the age of 27.  Gerber, a model, died at a rehab facility on Sunday, according to records filed by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner. The cause of death was not listed. Allie Jenkins, a representative for Crawford and her husband Rande Gerber, told the BBC's US news partner CBS: "The family is asking for privacy during this very difficult and painful time." Gerber had been a model like his mother and younger sister Kaia, making his runway debut for Italian label Moschino aged just 16.      (Presley Gerber pictured in May this year in Los Angeles alongside sister Kaia Gerber, mum Cindy Crawford and dad Rande Gerber)    Image source,  Getty Images  Image caption,  Gerber (left) was a model and had spoken about his close relationship with his family       He went on to model for brands including Burberry, Dolce & Gabbana, and Bottega Veneta. His father Rande Gerber, a well-known businessman, co-founded the Casamigos tequila brand with George Clooney. In recent years, Gerber had spoken openly about his mental health challenges and drug use.  In 2023, he told the Studio 22 podcast: "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."  And in (https://www.vogue.com/article/kaia-gerber-homer-gere-september-cover-2026-interview) this month's American Vogue, external  , Kaia discussed her brother's struggles with addiction. She said: "When something like that happens in a family, it kind of levels everyone. "I think that's also why I started to self-identify as the easy one and never wanted to ask for help." She added: "My parents for most of our lives were very, very private and didn't share anything - and now we have this absolute teacher, my brother, who says, 'I'm gonna be very human for everyone.' There's only so much you can hide from the world. And trying to put a lid on something just makes the person feel like you're ashamed of them." Gerber had previously spoken of his close relationship with his family, including Kaia, who he appeared alongside in a campaign for Calvin Klein in 2018, and whose name he had tattooed on his arm. He told People Magazine that year: "We're a close family, especially me and my sister, so it's definitely cool.  "We get to travel together half of the time, so it makes it a lot less lonely." Gerber also starred alongside his mother in Pepsi's 2018 Super Bowl commercial, 26 years after Crawford first appeared in her famous 1992 advertisement for the brand. "We're a really tight family, so it was just like going to work with one of your friends. It was so fun, and easy," he told People Magazine at the time. In July, Crawford shared two childhood photographs of her son on Instagram to mark his 27th birthday. "I'm so proud of the man you've become, but I'll always see you as my little boy! Love you," she wrote.
