Presley followed his parents into the public eye, working as a model and appearing in campaigns and editorials. He was frequently photographed alongside his sister Kaia, who has become one of the most in-demand models of her generation.
His final public appearance came alongside both of his parents, according to People.com. The outlet reported that he appeared with Crawford and Rande Gerber shortly before his death.
