Presley Gerber Died at Age 27
Presley died on September 20 at a rehabilitation facility in Santa Monica, California.
The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner confirmed his death, but the official cause has not yet been determined.

A Modeling Career and Public Conversations About Mental Health
Following in his mother’s footsteps, Presley began modeling as a teenager and made his runway debut for Moschino at the age of 16.
He later worked with major fashion brands, including Calvin Klein and Dolce & Gabbana.
In 2018, he appeared alongside Cindy Crawford in a Pepsi commercial aired during the Super Bowl, recreating elements of her famous 1992 advertisement.
Presley had also spoken publicly about his experiences with mental health and addiction.
Through an Instagram series called “Mental Health Mondays,” he encouraged conversations about personal struggles that people often hesitate to discuss openly.
In an August 2026 interview with Vogue, Kaia praised her brother’s willingness to share his experiences and discussed the impact of those challenges on their family.
The family’s latest tribute remembers Presley for his kindness and the love he shared with those closest to him.
