Harry Brant, son of billionaire Peter Brant and supermodel Stephanie Seymour, has died at 24. The socialite passed away on Sunday from an accidental drug overdose days before he was scheduled to enter rehab, his family confirmed Monday in a statement to Page Six.
"It is with enormous sorrow that we share with you the news that our beloved son, Harry Brant, lost his battle with addiction and died due to an accidental overdose of prescription medication," the statement from Stephanie and Peter read. "Our hearts are shattered. Harry wanted to overcome his addiction and was just days away from re-entering rehab."
Harry and his older brother grew up in the limelight. Their wealthy father owns newsprint manufacturer White Birch Paper and Brant Publications, Inc., and their mother, Seymour, is a renowned model and Victoria's Secret Angel. Harry followed in her footsteps as a model, appearing in campaigns for Balmain as well as Italian Vogue. He and his older brother also created a unisex makeup line for MAC Cosmetics.
"Harry loved fashion and was a trailblazer of beauty and cosmetic products for men — collaborating with a major brand on a unisex cosmetic line," his family said. "He achieved a lot in his 24 years, but we will never get the chance to see how much more Harry could have done."
In his last Instagram post, Harry posted a picture of himself with Miley Cyrus and French stylist Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele, whom he wished a happy birthday.
"Happy belated birthday to the queen CARLYNE!!!" he captioned the image. "The Dauphine francophile with eternal style."
Since news of his death, Harry's post has been flooded with tributes from mourning fans.
