Charlotte D'Alessio, the ex-girlfriend of Presley Gerber, has finally spoken out after the death of the son of supermodel Cindy Crawford. In a social media post, she said she was furious because she felt Presley still deserved more time alive. "You deserved more time. You deserved to live longer. I am so angry about this," she wrote, as quoted from her Instagram post.
Presley, who died on Sunday (20/9/2026) at a rehabilitation facility at the age of 27, was known as a figure who grew up under the spotlight of the entertainment industry. Charlotte, a 28-year-old model, shared a number of photos of their time together, including a moment embracing on a pier. She stressed that the love they shared was pure and that she wished Presley could still feel that affection. "I will always remember you like this," she wrote alongside a video showing Presley playing with a small white dog.
News of Presley's death was first confirmed by representatives of the family. In a statement to PEOPLE, they asked for privacy during this difficult time. However, the family's grief soon shifted into public scrutiny when the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner revealed that Presley's death was being investigated as a suspected overdose. Santa Monica Police received a report at 09.35 a.m. local time from an address on Berkeley Street. Upon arriving at the scene, officers found an adult man deceased.
To date, there has been no official conclusion on the cause of death. A police spokesperson stressed that the investigation is still underway and that there is no evidence of involvement by other parties. "At this time there is no indication of a crime," he said. The statement also dismissed wild speculation circulating on social media. However, the "suspected overdose" status has sparked a broader debate about the pressures faced by celebrity children, especially those who grow up under the camera lens.

For the Indonesian public, this case is not merely news of an international celebrity's death. The phenomenon of celebrity children grappling with public expectations and mental health problems is increasingly familiar at home. In recent years, a number of young figures from well-known Indonesian families have also faced similar pressures, from stigmatization to a lack of safe space to speak out. Presley's death is a reminder that behind the glitter of the entertainment world, psychological vulnerability can affect anyone, including those who are materially well-off.
The global entertainment industry, including in Indonesia, often neglects the importance of sustained mental health support. Yet the pressure to appear perfect on social media and the expectation of inheriting a famous name can be a heavy burden. Presley's case adds to the long list of celebrity children who have died from suspected substance abuse, strengthening calls for families and management to focus not only on careers but also on psychological well-being.
Going forward, the results of the official investigation will determine how the public understands Presley's death. If it was indeed an overdose, big questions will point to access and supervision at the rehabilitation facility. Meanwhile, the Gerber family deserves space to mourn without pressure. Will this tragedy push the entertainment industry—both in the United States and Indonesia—to take the mental health of its talents more seriously?
