Kaia Gerber shares heartbreaking message about grief following death of brother Presley aged 27

Kaia Gerber's latest Instagram post on grief has seen many people flood her comments with well wishes after her 27-year-old supermodel brother, Presley Gerber, passed away.

On 20 September, according to PEOPLE, a call was made to California police which described a cardiac arrest at 9.35 am.

The call took responders to a rehab facility in Santa Monica, and it was later confirmed the call was in relation to an overdose.

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner went on to rule in the passing weeks that Presley, who was the son of 90s supermodel Cindy Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber, was the patient who had died.

Presley was also the older brother of model and actress Kaia, who has since posted to her social media with what appears to be ways of living with grief.

Taking to Instagram, the model posted a quote from Joan Didion's The Year of Magical Thinking, which read: "Grief, when it comes, is nothing we expect it to be. Grief has no distance. Grief comes in waves, paroxysms, sudden apprehensions that weaken the knees and blind the eyes and obliterate the dailiness of life."

It comes after Kaia's tribute was shared one month after the loss of her bother.

"I love you the bluest, to the moon and back and back again, forever big brother," she wrote on 18 October.

"I don't have the words. and maybe the tiny mercy is that we didn't need them all along. words fail and words subtract and words summarize and words always lack truth. and how naive of me to believe that language could transcend grief. i've read all of the books and i have none of the answers. my articulation is no match against this, the magnitude of losing you," she wrote.

She added: "i had more love for you than i knew what to do with. and now that it has nowhere obvious to go, i'm certain it's going to swallow me whole."

Kaia has also spoken about her brother's struggle with both mental health and drug addiction.

"When something like that happens in a family, it kind of levels everyone," the 25-year-old said to Vogue in its September edition. "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.

"My parents for most of our lives were very, very private and didn’t share anything - and now we have this absolute teacher, my brother, who says, 'I’m gonna be very human for everyone'."

She continued: "There’s only so much you can hide from the world. And trying to put a lid on something just makes the person feel like you’re ashamed of them."
