Charlotte D’Alessio Honors Presley Gerber Following His Death

D’Alessio, who dated Gerber for roughly two years starting in 2018, described their connection as a pure love and lamented that he deserved more time. Her social media tribute included candid images of the pair, alongside a video showing Gerber walking toward the ocean, a memory she stated she would hold onto forever. The two had initially met through Gerber’s younger sister, Kaia, and remained a subject of public interest long after their romantic relationship ended.

Santa Monica police were dispatched to the facility on Berkeley Street at approximately 9:35 a.m. following reports of a potential overdose. While authorities confirmed that detectives are treating the death as a suspected overdose, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner has deferred an official cause and manner of death pending the results of additional testing. These findings may take several months to finalize.

Gerber, the son of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, had been open about his struggles with mental health and substance abuse. Earlier in 2026, he publicly discussed undergoing ibogaine treatment in Mexico, an experience his family lauded as a courageous step toward recovery. Despite his efforts to manage panic attacks and depression, he had recently expressed feelings of lacking purpose. A representative for the Crawford-Gerber family has requested privacy as they navigate this period of mourning.
