Paris Hilton has shared a full tribute for her late friend Presley Gerber after his death at the age of 27.

It seems Paris knew about Presley‘s passing before the rest of the world because of a comment that she left on his Instagram account about seven hours before the news went public.

Paris simply commented on Presley‘s final post, “Love you bro.” She added the heart-face emoji and the heart hands emoji. One fan seemingly had the accurate view of what happened, commenting, “he probably died hours ago and she already knew about it. We the public find out last. Many hours later.”

Almost two hours after Presley‘s death became public news, Paris went on her Instagram Stories to post her full tribute.

I’m completely heartbroken. I still can’t believe this is real.

Presley, you were such a beautiful soul. So sweet, sensitive, kind and genuine. I cared about you so much, and I’m going to miss you more than words can say.

I’ll always cherish the memories we shared – the laughs, the conversations, and just being around you. You had such a gentle heart and there was something so special about you that anyone who was lucky enough to know you could feel.

I hope you knew how deeply loved you were and how many people cared about you.

My heart is with your entire family during this unimaginable time.

Rest in peace, my friend. Love you forever. You will be so deeply missed.

Presley‘s final public appearance happened in May 2026, but months earlier, he made his final red carpet appearance while supporting Paris at the premiere of her documentary.
