Presley Gerber Dies at 27 After Years of Addiction Struggles

Presley Gerber, the model and son of supermodel Cindy Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber, has died at just 27 years old.

According to records from the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner, Presley died Sunday at a rehabilitation facility.

His official cause of death has not yet been released, and an autopsy is pending.

Presley had spoken publicly about his longtime battle with addiction and the difficult road to recovery.

His sister, model Kaia Gerber, previously said that her brother had struggled with drug addiction for roughly a decade.

In 2024, Presley opened up about a severe opioid addiction and revealed that he had survived a near-fatal fentanyl overdose.

He later spoke about his dependence on prescription medications and the challenges he faced while trying to stay sober.

In December 2025, Presley said he was taking buprenorphine as part of his treatment for opioid use disorder.

He also discussed taking prescribed medications, including Xanax and Valium, for panic and anxiety.

His struggle with addiction continued into 2026 as he searched for new ways to recover.

In March, Presley traveled to Mexico to undergo ibogaine treatment for addiction.

After the treatment, he shared his hope that it would be the last time he would need to return for help.

His openness about addiction gave the public a rare glimpse into the private struggles behind his life in the spotlight.

Despite repeated setbacks, Presley continued searching for a path toward recovery.

His death has now left his family, friends and loved ones mourning an unimaginable loss.

For Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, Presley was not simply a model or public figure, but their beloved son.

He was 27 years old, and his death brings a heartbreaking end to a long and difficult journey with addiction.
