He said: \u201cPresley you were the kindest and we are going to miss you so much.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe love you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Beckham, 27, is married to Nicola Peltz, 31, daughter of Jewish billionaire Nelson Peltz.<\/p>\n
TV personality Paris Hilton remembered Gerber as a \u201cbeautiful soul\u201d and described him as a \u201csweet, sensitive, kind and genuine\u201d friend.<\/p>\n
She said in a post on her Instagram story: \u201cI\u2019m completely hearbroken. I still can\u2019t believe this is real.<\/p>\n
\u201cI cared about you so much and I\u2019m going to miss you more than words can say.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll always cherish the memories we shared \u2013 the laughs, the conversations and just being around you.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou had such a gentle heart and there was something so special about you that anyone who was lucky enough to know you could feel.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope you knew how deeply loved you were and how many people cared about you. My heart is with your entire family during this unimaginable time.<\/p>\n
\u201cRest in peace, my friend. Love you forever.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gerber, who was Crawford and\u00a0Jewish businessman Rande Gerber\u2019s eldest child, was signed by IMG Models when he was 15.<\/p>\n
He made his catwalk debut in 2016 at Moschino\u2019s Resort show in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
Gerber also modelled for brands including Burberry, Dolce & Gabbana, and Bottega Veneta.<\/p>\n
He spoke frequently about his struggles with depression and substance abuse.<\/p>\n
In 2019 he was arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) and was sentenced to three years of probation and ordered to complete a DUI programme, as well as two days of community service.<\/p>\n
Kaia discussed her brother\u2019s \u201cdecade-long struggle with drug addiction\u201d in the September 2026 issue of Vogue.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cWhen something like that happens in a family, it kind of levels everyone.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think that\u2019s also why I started to self-identify as the easy one and never wanted to ask for help. Because it felt like too much to have two children who were needing.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy parents for most of our lives were very, very private and didn\u2019t share anything \u2014 and now we have this absolute teacher, my brother, who says: \u2018I\u2019m gonna be very human for everyone\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s only so much you can hide from the world. And trying to put a lid on something just makes the person feel like you\u2019re ashamed of them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Speaking on podcast Studio 22 in 2023, Presley said: \u201cHaving struggled with mental health, depression and some other things that come along with that, I think that whether I help one person or 100 people get out of that place that I was in at one point in my life, that\u2019s all I need to do.<\/p>\n
\u201c(Mental health) is an issue. It is such a big part of my life. It\u2019s a 24\/7 job and there\u2019s so much to it.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s really what I want to do: help people, whether you\u2019re depressed, you\u2019re struggling with something that is having a negative effect on your body. I mean it could be anything, and there\u2019s no judgment.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cI\u2019ve seen a lot of stuff and I\u2019ve learned a lot of things. What I hope I can do is have made the mistakes for some other people, so they don\u2019t have to make the same mistakes that I made.\u201d<\/p>\n
His father Rande Gerber is a well-known businessman who co-founded the Casamigos tequila brand with actor George Clooney.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Presley Gerber (left) with parents Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber attending the world premiere of Apple TV+’s ‘Palm…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":353415,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,3247,100,99,9,24,63],"class_list":["post-353414","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-beckham","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/353414","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=353414"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/353414\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/353415"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=353414"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=353414"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=353414"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
