Recently, Cindy Crawford’s fans were stunned by the news of the death of her 27-year-old son. But she is not the only star to have experienced such a tragedy.

Cindy Crawford

Presley Gerber was the older of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber’s two children and, like his mother and younger sister Kaia, worked in the modeling industry. He worked with Calvin Klein and Dolce & Gabbana, and in 2018 appeared alongside Crawford in a Pepsi commercial.

Presley died on September 20, 2026, at the age of 27. According to the Associated Press, citing a family representative and data from the Los Angeles County medical examiner, Gerber died at a rehabilitation facility.

Presley had previously spoken publicly about his mental health struggles. In 2025, he launched a Mental Health Mondays series on social media, where he sought to openly discuss topics that people often keep hidden.

Sylvester Stallone

Sylvester Stallone’s eldest son, Sage, died in July 2012 at the age of 36. He also worked in film and appeared on screen with his father, including in Rocky V.

Various theories initially circulated about the circumstances of his death, but the Los Angeles County coroner later determined that Sage died of natural causes due to coronary artery disease. According to the Los Angeles Times, toxicology tests found no substances that could have contributed to his death.

Keanu Reeves

Keanu Reeves experienced the loss of a child before her birth. In 1999, his partner Jennifer Syme gave birth to their daughter Ava, who was stillborn.

Two years later, Reeves suffered another tragedy when Syme died in a car accident. Later, in an interview with Parade, the actor shared that he still misses his daughter and her mother.

Years later, Reeves also told The Guardian that his own experience with loss became one of the sources he drew on when developing the character of John Wick.

Mike Tyson

In May 2009, Mike Tyson lost his four-year-old daughter, Exodus. The girl died following a tragic home accident in Phoenix when her neck became entangled in the cord of an exercise machine.

She was taken to a hospital in critical condition and placed on life support, but died the following day. Police described the incident as a tragic accident, ABC News reported.

Tyson’s family asked for privacy following the tragedy so they could grieve their loss together.

John Travolta

Actor John Travolta and his wife Kelly Preston lost their eldest son, Jett, in January 2009. He was 16 years old.

The teenager died while the family was vacationing in the Bahamas. Jett had a history of seizures, and following an autopsy, a local funeral home representative said the cause of death was a seizure disorder. ABC reported this.
