Kaia Gerber was supported by her Palm Royale co-star Laura Dern days after her brother Presley's shock death at 27.

Jurassic Park star Dern, 59, visited Kaia's Hollywood Hills home bearing flowers and groceries, with the actress seen unloading the gifts alongside a friend on Thursday.

Dern was dressed in a black sweater and faded blue jeans and her eyes were concealed behind dark sunglasses. 

The 27-year-old model son of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber died on Sunday at a Santa Monica, California, rehab facility of a suspected overdose.

As well as starring onscreen with Kaia, Dern has been a close friend of Crawford's for decades and they've supported one another at high-profile industry events.

The Daily Mail has reached out to Dern's representative for further comment.

Dern, whose mother is the late Diane Ladd and father is Bruce Dern, making her one of the original Hollywood nepo babies, has starred opposite Kaia in the Apple TV+ series Palm Royale.

Dern is not the only high-profile family friend to lend support.

A grim George Clooney, 65, and his wife Amal, 48, were seen arriving at Kaia's residence earlier this week.

Clooney was like a second father to Presley, having watched him and his sister Kaia grow up from the time they were born and earning the affectionate nickname Uncle George.

The two-time Oscar winner has been friends with Rande since the mid-1990s, before Rande married Crawford, and they launched their Casamigos tequila company in 2013 before selling the brand for up to $1 billion in 2017.

Clooney was considered a member of the family.

Dern's visit to Kaia's home comes amid the release of new details in which Presley's body was discovered.

On Wednesday, sources described as being close to the investigation said Presley had allegedly been found in a bedroom at the high-end rehab house on Sunday, September 20, according to TMZ.

Presley had checked into the facility just the night before he was found dead after going into cardiac arrest.

According to TMZ, the sources with knowledge of the investigation alleged that Presley's body was not on the bed, but instead was found nearby in the room, though they did not specify an exact location.

The Daily Mail has reached out to Presley's representatives for comment but has not yet received a response.

The sources additionally told the outlet that the potentially deadly narcotic fentanyl has not been a focus of the investigation into Presley's death at this time.

However, final confirmation of any substances that may have played a role in his death will have to wait until the Medical Examiner's toxicology report is released.

The Daily Mail previously obtained audio of the 911 emergency dispatch call made from the Santa Monica rehab, in which an automated voice could be heard saying 'cardiac arrest' followed by 'overdose.'

Perhaps the most chilling detail from 911 dispatch audio is how rapidly Presley's condition worsened within minutes.

The first call was made on Sunday, September 20 at 9.35am regarding a cardiac arrest, however, just three minutes later it was upgraded to an 'overdose,' then finally at 9.40am the priority was upped once again as it was 'upgraded.'

Shortly after the release of the 911 dispatch audio, sources close to the model told TMZ on Tuesday that a physician had been prescribing him ketamine despite knowing his past problems with the drug.

Ketamine can be used to treat drug addiction; however, that is not the use approved by the FDA.

Presley's close friends are allegedly angry that the doctor had prescribed the dissociative anesthetic to him while knowing that addiction struggles had been a regular problem for him, according to TMZ.

A Santa Monica Police Department spokesperson confirmed to The Daily Mail on Monday that emergency services were called to a luxury rehab Presley had been staying in on Sunday morning – before he was pronounced dead at the scene.

'On September 20, 2026, at approximately 9.35am, Santa Monica Police Department officers responded to a report of a possible overdose in the 1000 block of Berkeley Street. Upon arrival, officers located an adult male who was deceased,' the statement read.

'SMPD detectives are investigating the death as a suspected overdose. At this time, there is no indication of foul play. The investigation remains ongoing.'

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner has not determined the official cause of death yet but the autopsy was completed as of Monday morning and Presley's body was ready for release.

Per TMZ, Presley had been staying in a separate house on the grounds of the Santa Monica rehab, and had roommates. It was also claimed Presley had only checked into the rehab on Saturday night, hours before his death.

His death comes just weeks after his younger sister Kaia opened up about the enormous toll her brother's struggles had taken on their famous family – admitting the turmoil had effectively 'leveled everyone.'

'When something like that happens in a family, it kind of levels everyone,' she told Vogue.

Kaia praised her brother's willingness to strip away the secrecy surrounding his struggles.

She described his honesty and openness as 'refreshing,' contrasting it with the intensely private way their parents had traditionally handled family life.

'My parents for most of our lives were very, very private and didn't share anything – and now 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,' she said.

'And trying to put a lid on something just makes the person feel like you're ashamed of them,' she noted.
