The tragic death of Presley Gerber has reportedly left Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber questioning whether Los Angeles can still feel like home.
Now, reports claim the couple is considering leaving Hollywood in the aftermath of the 27-year-old son’s passing, with longtime family friend George Clooney said to be encouraging them to consider a quieter life elsewhere.
The new claim comes as Cindy Crawford, Rande Gerber and their daughter, Kaia Gerber, plan for an intimate and private ceremony to honor Presley after his death at a sober-living home in Los Angeles.
Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber Are Reportedly Considering Leaving Los Angeles After Presley’s Death
According to a new report, Presley’s death has forced Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber to confront a question they may never have expected to face: whether they can continue building their lives in Los Angeles after losing their son there.
“Can they really continue their lives in L.A., like nothing ever happened?” the source asked, per Star Magazine. “Nobody wants to see them make any rash decisions, but Presley’s death has rocked their world.”
Presley passed away on September 20 at age 27 at a sober-living home. As of now, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner has deferred determining the official cause and manner of death while toxicology testing continues.
The Santa Monica police have also said there is currently no indication of foul play amid their investigation.
Presley Gerber’s Death Has Suddenly Put His Private Family Back in the Hollywood Spotlight
According to the source cited by Star, Cindy and Rande had largely kept their personal lives out of the Hollywood spotlight in recent years, making Presley’s unexpected death an especially devastating disruption to the privacy they had maintained.
Although the couple has spent decades closely associated with the entertainment and fashion industries, the source claims they had deliberately adopted a quieter lifestyle away from much of the public attention.
“But now, totally unexpectedly, they are in the eye of the storm, and no amount of money can bring back what they’ve just lost,” the source added.
Presley’s death has nevertheless thrust the family back into the public eye at a time when they are still coming to terms with their loss.
Amid the renewed scrutiny, close friends, relatives and longtime associates have reportedly gathered around Cindy, Rande and Kaia, providing support as the family navigates the painful aftermath.
George And Amal Clooney Rally Around The Family As Presley’s Death Leaves Them Devastated
George and Amal Clooney have been a major source of support for the Gerbers since Presley death.
The A-list couple was photographed arriving at the family’s Los Angeles home shortly after the model’s death made headlines.
“It’s been an all-hands-on-deck moment for their friends, famous and little-known,” the Star source said, describing the support surrounding Cindy, Rande and their daughter Kaia following Presley’s death.
People Magazine reported that George, Amal and other close friends had been taking shifts staying with the family so they would not be alone.
The Clooneys have also helped with practical arrangements while Cindy, Rande and Kaia navigate the immediate aftermath.
“George is doing his level best to be supportive,” the source noted, adding that “deep down, he has to be blaming Presley’s death on the L.A. lifestyle that he himself ran away from more than twenty years ago.”
George Clooney Chose A Quieter European Life for His Family
George’s alleged encouragement for Cindy and Rande to consider leaving Los Angeles is tied to a decision he made for his own family.
In a 2025 interview with Esquire, the actor explained that he and Amal chose to raise their twins, Ella and Alexander, at their home in France.
He said he was concerned about exposing his children to the culture and pressures surrounding Hollywood and wanted them to have a more ordinary upbringing away from constant celebrity attention.
“We live on a farm in France. I was worried about raising our kids in L. A., in the culture of Hollywood,” George said at the time. “I don’t want them to be walking around worried about paparazzi. I don’t want them being compared to somebody else’s famous kids.”
That earlier decision now reportedly informs the actor’s perspective as he supports the Gerbers through their grief.

The Star Magazine source claims Clooney has long advocated for a “slower, deeper European lifestyle” and believes the Gerbers could benefit from making a similar move as they grieve their son.
“George is one of those people who is always advocating for the slower, deeper European lifestyle,” the source stated, adding that following Presley’s death, “he absolutely would like to see Rande and Cindy make the same decision.”
For now, however, the family’s immediate focus appears to be coping with Presley’s death and preparing for a private and intimate ceremony to honor the late model.
