Presley Gerber, the son of internationally known model Cindy Crawford, has died at the age of 27, his family said.
In a brief statement, the family asked for privacy while they come to terms with what they described as a "very difficult and painful time." The statement did not provide further details about the circumstances of Gerber's death or a cause.
Gerber, who had worked in the fashion industry, was a public figure through his family ties and his own modelling and creative work. He was frequently covered in fashion and lifestyle media throughout his career.
No further information was released by the family, and they asked that their privacy be respected as they mourn. Media and members of the public have been asked to refrain from speculation while the family grieves.
