Brooklyn Beckham has shared an emotional tribute to his friend Presley Gerber following confirmation that the model has died at the age of 27.
Presley, the son of supermodel Cindy Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber, died on Sunday, September 20, according to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner.
He had reportedly been staying at a rehabilitation facility at the time of his death.
The cause has not yet been disclosed, and the source said an autopsy had yet to be carried out.
Presley’s family confirmed the devastating news through a representative in a statement provided to TMZ.
“The family is asking for privacy during this very difficult and painful time,” the statement read.
Brooklyn Beckham Shares Heartbreaking Message
Brooklyn, who is also 27, responded to the news by posting a photograph of himself with Presley on his Instagram Stories.
The eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham made clear how deeply affected he was by the loss.
“I am so heartbroken,” Brooklyn wrote.
“Presley you were the kindest and we are going to miss you so much we love you.”
The brief message offered a glimpse into the friendship between the two men as tributes followed confirmation of Presley’s death.
Brooklyn did not share further details about their relationship, instead keeping his tribute focused on his grief and memories of Presley’s kindness.
Presley’s Family Had Faced Difficult Years
Presley’s death comes after his younger sister, Kaia Gerber, recently discussed how difficulties within the family had affected them all.
Speaking to Vogue, Kaia reflected on the impact of her brother’s reported struggles with drug use and mental health.
“When something like that happens in a family, it kind of levels everyone,” she said.
Presley himself had also spoken publicly about his mental health.
Last November, he announced that he was stepping away from social media for a period so he could focus on his wellbeing.
He said he needed time to “take care of my own mental health for a bit”.
A month later, Presley spoke more openly in a social media video about his personal experiences, including loss and panic attacks.
His comments offered followers a rare insight into some of the difficulties he had been dealing with away from his modelling career and famous family.
Presley Followed His Family Into Modelling
Presley was the eldest child and only son of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber.
Like his mother and sister Kaia, he pursued a career in modelling from a young age.
His connection to the fashion industry saw him work alongside some of the biggest names and brands in the business.
Presley was also frequently photographed with his family, who had long been among the most recognisable celebrity families in the United States.
His father, Rande, is a businessman who co-founded the Casamigos tequila brand with George Clooney, while Cindy became one of the defining supermodels of the 1990s.
Kaia has also established herself as a successful model and actress.
Family Requests Privacy
The Gerber family has not provided further details surrounding Presley’s death beyond asking to be left in peace during what they described as an extremely painful time.
With the cause of death still undisclosed in the source, no conclusions have been made about the circumstances.
Brooklyn’s tribute is among the personal messages to emerge following the announcement.
His words — describing Presley as “the kindest” and saying he would be deeply missed — reflected the shock of losing a friend at such a young age.
For Presley’s parents and sister, the focus now remains on grieving privately as friends and loved ones remember the 27-year-old.
Brooklyn’s message was simple but deeply emotional: “We are going to miss you so much.”
