In an emotional Instagram post, Crawford shared a black-and-white photo of Presley and reflected on his character. She wrote, "We are so proud of how he showed up in the world, with kindness and vulnerability."
Presley’s sister, Kaia Gerber, also took to Instagram to honor him, stating, "You know how much I loved being your sister. It has always been, and will forever be, my favorite thing about myself."
Born in California in 1999, Presley followed in the footsteps of his famous parents, making his modeling debut at 16 with Moschino. However, in recent years, he faced significant challenges, openly discussing his struggles with mental health and substance use.
The family's loss has sparked conversations about mental health awareness, particularly in high-pressure environments like the modeling industry.
