The world is wrapping its arms around Cindy Crawford and her family today. After weeks of unimaginable grief, the legendary supermodel has finally broken her silence following the tragic death of her 27-year-old son, Presley Gerber.
Taking to Instagram, Cindy shared a deeply emotional and heartbreaking tribute to her beloved boy.
“We are beyond heartbroken to lose our beloved son and brother,” the 58-year-old grieving mother wrote. “We feel so blessed to have had Presley in our lives for 27 years. He is a sweet, beautiful soul who loved and is loved, now and forever.”
Cindy also took a moment to thank fans and even strangers for the massive outpouring of love and support her family has received during this dark time.
The emotional tribute comes just days after Cindy Crawford and her husband Rande Gerber were spotted holding hands on a beach in their first public outing since the tragedy.
Shortly after Cindy’s post, Presley’s younger sister, model Kaia Gerber, shared her own painfully raw message dedicated to her big brother.
“You know how much I loved being your sister. It has always been, and will forever be, my favorite thing about myself,” Kaia wrote, leaving fans in tears. “You believed people were inherently good because, Presley, you are inherently good.”
Presley, who tragically passed away in September at a rehab facility, was not just a talented model who worked with brands like Calvin Klein and Dolce & Gabbana. He was also a fierce advocate for mental health. He frequently used his platform to spark real conversations about depression and addiction, hoping to help others who felt alone.
Losing a child and a sibling is a pain that never truly goes away. The Gerber family’s strength in sharing their love for Presley with the world is truly inspiring.
Please continue to keep Cindy, Rande, Kaia, and all of Presley’s loved ones in your thoughts and prayers. Leave your supportive messages for the family in the comments below.
