She emphasized, “I hope you know how deeply loved you were and how many people cared about you.”

“My heart is with your entire family during this unimaginable time,” Paris concluded. “Rest in peace, my friend. Love you forever. You will be so deeply missed.”

Meanwhile, Victoria Beckham and David Beckham’s oldest son Brooklyn Beckham also detailed his heartbreaking loss. 

“Presley, you were the kindest,” Brooklyn wrote in an Instagram Story. “We’re going to miss you so much. X. We love you.”

Similarly, Brody Jenner wrote directly to Presley in a recent comment under the mental health advocate’s final Instagram post, “Love you brother.”

Social media star Chase Keith also shared condolences under the post from August, adding alongside a broken heart emoji, “Rest in peace man.”

While Presley’s parents and sister have not yet shared a statement regarding his sudden death, a rep for the family said in a statement to E! News Sept. 21 that they are “asking for privacy during this very difficult and painful time.”

In the weeks leading up to his death, Kaia emphasized how proud she was of her brother for continuing to voice the ups and downs of his mental health journey. 

“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,’” the 25-year-old told Vogue in an interview published in August. “There’s only so much you can hide from the world. And trying to put a lid on something just makes the person feel like you’re ashamed of them.”
