Celebrities Pay Tribute
Paris Hilton shared an emotional tribute on her Instagram Stories, remembering Presley as a "kind and beautiful soul." "I still can't believe this is real.

Family Requests Privacy
A representative for the Gerber family said in a statement on September 21 that they were "asking for privacy during this very difficult and painful time."
Presley's Openness on Mental Health
Weeks before Presley's death, his sister, model Kaia Gerber, had spoken about his openness regarding 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,'" Kaia said 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," she added, according to E! News.
