George Clooney Addresses Presley Gerber's Death for the First Time
George Clooney spoke publicly for the first time about the death of Presley Gerber, the son of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber. Presley died on September 20 at age 27 at a Santa Monica rehab facility, and his cause of death has been deferred. Clooney called the loss devastating and said he and Amal have been staying with the Gerber family.
George Clooney’s remarks came at The Albies on October 9, 2026, where the 65-year-old actor spoke with Entertainment Tonight. Presley Gerber died September 20 at 27 in a Santa Monica rehabilitation facility; his cause of death remains deferred after an autopsy was completed.
Clooney and Rande Gerber co-founded Casamigos Tequila in 2013. After Presley’s death, Clooney and Amal reportedly took turns staying with Cindy Crawford and Rande, helped with arrangements, and joined the family in Los Angeles. Kaia Gerber had recently discussed her brother’s addiction.
This story may deepen public conversation about addiction, grief, and privacy for families in entertainment. Fans of Crawford, Gerber, and Clooney could feel secondary sorrow, while coverage may affect how the family navigates mourning. It may also prompt discussions about rehab care and support systems, though the deferred cause means conclusions should remain cautious.
