The unexpected death of Cindy Crawford's son Presley Gerber has caused a range of reactions online − and his young age of 27 is sparking another level of shock.

"It's disturbing to see such young people, who never experienced life to the fullest, leave so early," one user posted on social media.

"Such a young light gone," another commented. "Wow this is so unfortunate he was very young," another wrote.

Some even dubbed Gerber a new member of the 27 Club, the tragically connected group of stars who have all died at the same age. While the unofficial club has mostly focused on musicians, like Amy Winehouse, Kurt Cobain and Jim Morrison, it has since expanded to include other young celebrities, according to the Rolling Stone.

"Sad he’s apart of the 27 club," one person commented on a social media post. "Gone too soon."

"CLUB 27 WHEN WILL THIS (expletive) END," another wrote.

Whether you were one of Gerber's fans or just learning of him now, the realization that his life was cut short at such a young age…
