George Clooney spoke publicly for the first time about the death of Presley Gerber, addressing reporters Friday at his annual Albies awards in London. Gerber, the 27-year-old son of Clooney's business partner Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford, died Sept. 20 of a suspected overdose, per E! Online.
Clooney called the loss "devastating" and sent love to the Gerber-Crawford family, per Us Weekly. The remarks are the first public comments from an A-lister since the death shook Hollywood's inner circle. And Clooney counts the Gerbers among his closest friends, Hello! Magazine notes -- which gives the tribute extra weight.
