George Clooney has broken his silence regarding the death of model Presley Gerber, who passed away at the age of 27 on September 20, 2026. Clooney, a longtime friend of Presley's parents, Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford, described the loss as "one of the most devastating things that's happened to our family." He shared his initial thoughts on the tragedy while attending an event in London.
Presley Gerber died while undergoing treatment at a rehabilitation facility. The Santa Monica Police Department responded to a report of a possible overdose on September 20, 2026, and confirmed the discovery of an adult male deceased. The Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner later identified the individual as Presley Gerber.
Gerber had previously been open about his struggles with addiction and mental health on social media in 2025.
