Just last month, Presley’s sister, Kaia Gerber, praised her big brother for being so transparent about his addiction battle and mental health struggles.

“We have this absolute teacher, my brother, who says, ‘I’m gonna be very human for everyone.’ There’s only so much you can hide from the world,” the “Mother Mary” actress, 25, told Vogue at the time.

“And trying to put a lid on something just makes the person feel like you’re ashamed of them,” she added.

Presley’s last public appearance was in June when he attended the We Are ENOUGH x Aviator Nation launch event at Aviator Nation Dreamland in Malibu, California, with his famous parents.

The model spoke on a panel about how he decided to come off “various medications” to distinguish his internal voices from his authentic self.
