George Clooney broke his silence on the death of Presley Gerber, 27, the son of his longtime friends Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber. Clooney described the death "the worst thing that could ever happen," calling it devastating for the family.

Around the same time, Clooney and his wife Amal were present at the Albies ceremony. The couple made sure the focus stayed on the award recipients rather than themselves throughout the event. Observers noted the two were low-key as the ceremony's recipients took center stage.
