Charlotte D’Alessio has shared an emotional tribute to her former boyfriend, Presley Gerber, following the 27-year-old’s sudden death on Sunday.

The 28-year-old Canadian model, who was in a relationship with Presley for about two years from 2018, posted a collection of personal photos of the couple. She said they had shared a “pure love” and admitted she was “very angry” over his death.

Presley, the only son of supermodel Cindy Crawford, 60, and millionaire businessman Rande Gerber, 64, died at a rehabilitation facility in Los Angeles. His death is being investigated as a suspected overdose.

D’Alessio looked back on their relationship alongside a photograph of the pair embracing on a dock, with the model wearing a bikini beside Presley.

“Shared a pure love with you & for that I thank & honor your life. You deserved more time. You deserved more life. Very angry ab this,” she wrote across the image.

On a second black-and-white photograph showing the couple hugging, she added: “Love you Pres. always. Up there, down here. don’t ever doubt that. we all love you so much. I hope you can feel it.”

She also posted what appeared to be a photograph from a costume party, in which the pair posed together while holding prop guns.

Another image showed Presley relaxing on a bed with a rolled-up cigarette in his mouth as he stroked a small white dog.

D’Alessio also shared a nostalgic video of Presley walking toward the ocean, with the white dog following closely behind.

“I will always remember you this way,” she wrote over the clip.

The pair reportedly met through Presley’s sister, Kaia Gerber, 25, in December 2017.

Before and after his relationship with D’Alessio, Presley was also linked to reality television star Lexi Wood in 2022 and model Cayley King in 2017.

Presley’s death was announced on Sunday after a years-long struggle involving drugs, panic attacks and his mental health.

A Santa Monica Police Department spokesperson told The Daily Mail on Monday that emergency services were called to the luxury rehabilitation facility where Presley had been staying on Sunday morning. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

“On September 20, 2026, at approximately 9.35am, Santa Monica Police Department officers responded to a report of a possible overdose in the 1000 block of Berkeley Street. Upon arrival, officers located an adult male who was deceased,” the statement said.

‘SMPD detectives are investigating the death as a suspected overdose. At this time, there is no indication of foul play. The investigation remains ongoing.’

People reports dispatch recordings show a call went out at 9.35am on Sunday for a ‘cardiac arrest’ at the unnamed facility.

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner has not determined the official cause of death yet but the autopsy was completed as of Monday morning and Presley’s body was ready for release.

Per TMZ, Presley had been staying in a separate house on the grounds of the LA rehab, and had roommates. It was also claimed Presley had only checked into the rehab on Saturday night, hours before his death.

The Daily Mail has reached out to representatives for the Gerber family and has yet to hear back.

The medical examiner’s office told People on Monday: ‘Death was pronounced at 09.45 hours on September 20, 2026, by responding paramedics.’

The model had been open about his decade-long struggle with drug addiction and mental health struggles.

Earlier this year, he posted about having a ‘Pre-ibogaine flood dose’ at a Mexican treatment clinic, a single, high-dose administration of the naturally occurring psychoactive substance ibogaine.

Ibogaine is derived from an African shrub and is reported to help withdrawal symptoms. The high dose is designed to induce a profound ‘reset.’

Presley’s parents and his sister Kaia praised him for his ‘courage’ in response to his post about starting the treatment in March.

Crawford commented: ‘You are a warrior! Walked thru the fire to find yourself! So proud!’ while Kaia added: ‘That’s my brother I am so damn proud.’

And Rande wrote: ‘I’m so proud of you and your courage. Facing what’s hard takes real strength and watching you find your way back to yourself is everything. I love you so much.’

Ibogaine is classified as a Schedule I controlled substance in the US but it is legal or permitted on prescription in countries such as Canada and Brazil while it is used in specialized clinics in Mexico.

Presley praised the Beond Ibogaine clinic in Cancun – where treatment starts at $12,500 for a ten-day program – for its ‘incredible, caring, kind and on-their-s*** team.’

Presley said in a video caption: ‘I was absolutely terrified, and I knew I would be again if I ever had to face something like this (helps to not go into the situations you do that get ya there but that’s life sometimes.)

‘My mantras were love yourself and lis gotta be the last time for this reason. letting go of control didn’t come easy, but I trusted there was something bigger than me guiding it.’

‘I knew why i was there. I faced what I had been running from, and somewhere in all of it, i started finding my way back to myself… We shall see… Praying it’s the last time I have to come back.

‘Next time I’d like to choose And absolutely can’t forget the incredible caring kind and on-their-s*** team. Helps a lot haha. And I made some dope ass friends there #iboga #ibogaine #rewireyourbrain #loveyourself #mentalhealth.’

Beond Ibogaine commented on the post at the time, writing: ‘Thank you for sharing this so openly. We know how much courage that moment takes, and we’re really proud of you for facing it with so much honesty and heart. It was an honor to support you.’

Beond Ibogaine’s website states that ‘Ingesting a large enough dose induces a temporary psychedelic experience that can last several hours, normally with no significant side-effects.’

Despite its ban, public figures including singer Melissa Etheridge, who lost her 21-year-old son Beckett to a fentanyl overdose in 2020, and Khloe Kardashian’s ex-husband Lamar Odom have endorsed Ibogaine’s benefits.

Last November, Presley revealed he had taken a step back from social media to ‘take care of my own mental health for a bit.’

One month later, he opened up about his personal life in a candid social media video. He started sharing ‘Mental Health Mondays’ videos on his Instagram. In one, he listed the medication he takes for ‘night terrors’ and ‘panic attacks.’

‘I feel like honesty is the best policy,’ he began.

He also said his use of medication had been ‘fluctuating up and down depending on what’s been going on in my life.’

‘Unfortunately, I’ve had a lot of loss in many different forms recently, so that is not an excuse, but it’s the reason why I am where I’m at now,’ he shared.

He did not go into detail about the ‘loss’ he referenced but went on to explain that he would experience panic attacks that were ‘really, really bad.’

In one particularly bleak admission, he confessed he no longer even knew precisely how much of one medication he had been taking.

‘Who f***ing knows anymore,’ he said.

The tragedy cuts short the life of a model who had seemingly been destined to follow his famous mother into fashion from an early age.

A spokesman for Crawford told the Daily Mail on Sunday: ‘The family is asking for privacy during this very difficult and painful time.’

Presley started modeling at age 15 and was featured in campaigns for fashion labels such as Dolce & Gabbana and Calvin Klein.

Presley was signed to IMG models and appeared in a 2018 Pepsi ad with his mother.

He also struggled with mental health at a young age and was arrested for driving under the influence in 2019.

Presley had also talked about the lack of ‘direction’ he has from doctors when it comes to his medication.

He spoke openly about feeling lost as he attempted to navigate his mental health problems – even revealing that he had seen 15 psychiatrists.

The model complained that doctors had given him an overwhelming array of medications but too little guidance about how to manage them.

His death comes just weeks after his younger sister Kaia opened up about the enormous toll her brother’s struggles had taken on their famous family – admitting the turmoil had effectively ‘leveled everyone.’

‘When something like that happens in a family, it kind of levels everyone,’ she told Vogue.

Kaia also revealed last month that watching her brother battle his problems led her to cast herself as the family’s ‘easy’ child and someone who did not want to add another burden for their parents.

She explained: ‘I think that’s 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.’

But she also praised her brother’s willingness to strip away the secrecy surrounding his struggles.

She described his honesty and openness as ‘refreshing,’ contrasting it with the intensely private way their parents had traditionally handled family life.

Presley was open about his mental health struggles noting how he had issues from ‘a very young age’ – and labeled it as ‘the ultimate pandemic.’

During an appearance on the Studio 22 podcast in 2023, Presley had shared: ‘It is such a big part of my life. It’s a 24/7 job, and there’s so much to it.’

Even while struggling himself, Presley said he hoped his experiences might ultimately allow him to help others facing their own battles.

‘Having struggled with mental health, depression and some other things that come along with that, I think that whether I help one person or a hundred people get out of that place that I was in at one point in my life, that’s all I need to do,’ he said.

Beau Lamarre-Condon’s lawyer has told the court that his client entered the home of his former boyfriend, Jesse Baird, to retrieve jewellery—not to murder him.

In opening remarks on Tuesday, barrister John Stratton SC said Lamarre-Condon wanted to avoid the embarrassment of seeing Baird that morning.

The court heard he waited until the property was empty before entering, wearing an Uber Eats uniform so he could appear to be making a delivery if someone answered the door.

According to Mr Stratton, Baird was armed with a knife and failed to recognise Lamarre-Condon, who was wearing a motorcycle helmet and high-visibility clothing.

Lamarre-Condon had his firearm with him because his police training instructed him never to leave a gun unattended in a car, where it could be stolen, the court was told.

Mr Stratton said Baird seized the firearm during a struggle, causing it to discharge and fatally injure him.

The weapon was thrown into the living room before Lamarre-Condon moved along the hallway while calling Triple-0, the court heard.

He then encountered Luke Davies, who was Baird’s new partner.

Lamarre-Condon seized Davies by the arm and moved the gun away from his own body. Mr Stratton said Davies then pulled the trigger and was fatally shot.

The defence barrister said Lamarre-Condon had no intention of hurting anyone in Paddington that day and was acting in self-defence.

‘After that, the accused panicked, he knew it looked bad,’ Mr Stratton said.

‘He cleaned up as much as he could and threw the knife into the yard of a house on Lawson street.’

Mr Stratton also rejected the claim that his client had broken into Baird’s home in August 2023, saying Lamarre-Condon entered using a key he had been given.

The court heard Lamarre-Condon struggled to deal with the end of the relationship and engaged in what Mr Stratton described as ‘stupid things’, including checking Baird’s phone and deleting messages.

The lawyer said Lamarre-Condon had never threatened Baird and that the relationship had not involved a pattern of escalating violence.

The trial’s first witness was due to give evidence after morning tea at 11.50am.

One of regional New South Wales’ most recognisable farm-to-table restaurants is set to close its doors after 12 years, only months after its owners redesigned the venue to bring it closer to its original vision.

Zin Food + Wine House in Mudgee will welcome its final diners on December 21, owners Kim Currie and David Lowe confirmed this week.

The couple launched the restaurant as The Zin House in 2014, earning a devoted following for produce-led dishes prepared largely with ingredients grown on their farm and in its gardens.

Earlier this year, they reshaped the acclaimed fine-dining venue, removing “The Zin House” from its name, scrapping the $155 degustation menu and reopening with a more casual $95 offering.

Currie said at the time that the restaurant had evolved into a “bucket-list” destination she scarcely recognised, as local diners were increasingly displaced by visitors marking special occasions.

However, the decision to close was not ultimately driven by the restaurant’s performance. Instead, the couple said they wanted to take back more control of their time.

“After more than a decade as The Zin House, and our recent chapter as Zin Food + Wine House, David and I have decided to close the restaurant at the end of the year,” Currie wrote on Instagram.

“Since opening in 2014, Zin has achieved everything we set out to do and more – highlighting our region, sharing our love of uncomplicated food and wine of outstanding quality, and creating a space for people to connect.”

‘The decision to close is a hard one’ 

Set among Mudgee’s vineyards and gardens, Zin was founded on a straightforward principle: prepare food using what could be grown on the property.

Currie said the restaurant’s direction over its 12-year history had been shaped by three words displayed prominently on her office wall: “generosity, authenticity, quality”.

“From day one our ethos has been to cook simply with what we grow,” she said.

After more than a decade at the helm, however, Currie and Lowe – who also makes wine through Lowe Family Wine Co – said their personal priorities had shifted.

“The decision to close the doors on this chapter is a hard one, but ultimately feels right,” Currie said.

“As parents, grandparents, and business owners, we are at a stage where we want to reprioritise our time.”

Currie said she was looking forward to the freedom to cook when inspiration arrived, refine recipes, write and take on new kitchen projects without the constant pressure of operating a restaurant.

The restaurant had only recently undergone a dramatic transformation 

The announcement comes just months after Currie took the unusual step of dismantling many of the fine-dining elements that had turned The Zin House into a destination in its own right.

Although the restaurant had enjoyed considerable success, Currie acknowledged late last year that its awards, acclaim and formal dining structure had gradually pulled it away from the place she had originally hoped to create.

“Every time I heard the word degustation, I cringed. I would look out and think, there’s nobody here I know. The locals aren’t coming. We’ve become a special-occasion place,” she told The Sydney Morning Herald at the time.

The Zin House subsequently became Zin Food + Wine House in January 2026.

The $155 tasting menu was replaced by a $95 set menu influenced by Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cooking, with three small pours of Lowe Family wines included.

The changes were designed to make the restaurant less formal, more affordable and easier for locals to visit regularly.

‘I just want to cook simply, from scratch, with the food that we grow,’ Currie said ahead of the relaunch.

‘I want the restaurant to be more inclusive, less expensive, and just a little more energetic and playful.’

Instead of lengthy degustations, dishes were brought to the table together, with menus featuring the likes of flatbread with olive oil and dukkah, za’atar chicken skewers and eggplant prepared three ways.

Opening hours were also expanded across Fridays and Saturdays so customers could stop in for a glass of wine without committing to a lengthy meal.

Even QR codes were introduced to allow diners to access recipes and footage from the vineyard.

It was a deliberate attempt to strip away some of the ceremony the restaurant had accumulated during its success and revive the relaxed farmhouse experience Currie originally envisaged. 

A changing landscape for Australian restaurants 

Zin’s reinvention came during a difficult period for Australia’s hospitality industry, as rising operating costs and changing spending habits have forced restaurants to reconsider increasingly expensive dining formats.

Currie had already recognised that diners were looking for greater flexibility and value, particularly as households became more selective about how often they ate out.

Rather than continuing to chase the prestige attached to degustation dining, she chose to make Zin more accessible.

The decision to now close means that experiment will ultimately be short-lived, although Currie has made clear the restaurant’s final chapter is ending on her and Lowe’s terms.

She thanked the customers and generations of employees who had contributed to Zin since 2014.

‘To all our customers, the teams who have cooked, served, cleaned, gardened, marketed, and to everyone who has supported us and been part of the Zin journey I offer my heartfelt thanks and warm respect,’ she said.

After 12 years creating one of Mudgee’s most recognisable dining experiences, Currie and Lowe will enter 2027 without a restaurant – and, for the first time in over a decade, with the freedom to choose what comes next.
