Presley Gerber shared a warm moment with his parents, Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, during what would become his final public appearance before his untimely death.
On June 11, Presley joined the supermodel and businessman at the We Are ENOUGH x Aviator Nation launch at Aviator Nation Dreamland in Malibu, California.
The family of three posed together inside the event, smiling for photographers as the 27-year-old stood between Crawford, 60, and Rande, 64.
The gathering centered on an open discussion about mental health, and Presley spoke candidly about his own experiences and the path that helped him understand his self-worth.
According to a press release, Presley said that at 23 he stopped taking “various medications” and began working to separate his inner voices from his authentic identity.
“The most free I felt was when I was finally honest with myself,” the runway model said during the June event.
He also urged those listening to make self-care, physical activity and time outdoors part of their daily routines.
“Move your body regardless of how you’re feeling. Get outside. Get some sun. If you don’t feel like moving, lay on the grass,” Presley advised.
The Malibu appearance marked the last time Presley was publicly seen with his parents, coming just over three months before his death.

News of Presley’s death emerged Sunday after he died at an undisclosed rehabilitation facility. He was 27.
“The family is asking for privacy during this very difficult and painful time,” relatives said in a statement to Page Six.
An autopsy is expected to determine the cause of death.
Throughout his life, Presley had spoken publicly about both substance abuse and mental health challenges.
In December 2025, he revealed that he had reached five months without alcohol while also describing the difficulty he faced in finding medical support to safely reduce his prescription medication use.
The following May, Presley went to Cancun, Mexico, for an “ibogaine flood dose,” a psychedelic treatment promoted as a way to reset the brain and interrupt the cycle of addiction.
Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber welcomed Presley in July 1999. Their daughter, Kaia, was born in September 2001.
