Kaia Gerber is opening up about the loss of her older brother, Presley Gerber, in a letter filled with childhood memories and words of love.
Presley—Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber‘s son — died on September 20.
Kaia, in her first-ever statement since the tragedy, shared an emotional Instagram tribute to her older brother on Sunday, Oct. 18, nearly a month after his death at age 27. In a series of deeply personal messages, The Shards actress described their lifelong bond, her brother’s kindness, and how hard it is to imagine a future without him. She captioned the tearful post, “i love you the bluest, to the moon and back and back again, forever big brother.”
What Did Kaia Gerber Say About Her Late Brother?
View this post on InstagramKaia, 25, began her message by saying it felt impossible to express her grief. “Prez, 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,” she began.
Kaia explained that she had spent time searching for answers but found little comfort in trying to make sense of her loss. “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 went on to describe how much she cherished being Presley’s younger sister, a relationship she said had always been central to her life.
Among the memories Kaia revisited was a childhood moment when Presley helped her overcome her fear of getting her ears pierced. “And I keep thinking about how when we were little, I got scared before getting my ears pierced, so you went first. You always went first,” she recalled.
That memory became especially painful when she reflected on receiving an earring that had belonged to her brother: “And I really [expletive] wish you hadn’t gone first this time.”
Kaia also reflected on Presley’s character, remembering his kindness and his willingness to see the good in others. “You believed people were inherently good because, Presley, you are inherently good,” she wrote. The actress acknowledged that she is still learning how to navigate their relationship without being able to speak to him, adding, “How to tell you something without picking up my phone to call you. How to be your sister in a world that I can’t reach for you in.”
Despite her grief, Kaia made clear that she would never trade the years they had together: “I was born loving you. I will die loving you. There was never anything else.”
Presley’s family previously described him as a beloved son and brother whose kindness and vulnerability touched those around him.
His cause of death has not been publicly disclosed.
