Cindy Crawford, Rande Gerber seen in first outing since son's death

The couple was photographed holding hands on a Malibu beach days after Presley Gerber died of an apparent overdose.

Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber stepped out together for the first time since the death of their 27-year-old son, Presley Gerber, Page Six reported.

The longtime couple was photographed holding hands during a walk on Zuma Beach in Malibu on Saturday. Crawford wore a white top and black yoga pants, while Gerber matched in a white top and black shorts. Both wore ball caps and sneakers.

Presley died on Sept. 20 of an apparent overdose hours after checking into a sober living facility in Santa Monica, according to Page Six. Dispatch audio obtained by the outlet indicated first responders were called for an “overdose” and “cardiac arrest.” He was found in a bedroom at the facility.

The sighting comes a day after George Clooney, a longtime family friend and co-founder of Gerber's Casamigos tequila brand, called the tragedy “the worst thing that could ever happen with family.” Clooney told Entertainment Tonight that “it’s one of the most devastating things that’s happened to our family.”

A family rep told Page Six the family asked for “privacy during this very difficult and painful time” shortly after Presley’s death. A source told the outlet that Crawford was “inconsolable” and “absolutely devastated.” Presley was cremated days after his death, per TMZ.

Crawford and Gerber married in 1998. Their daughter Kaia, now 25, was born in 2001.
