Stephanie and Peter, who have been married since 1995 and also have a 27-year-old son named Peter II, broke the news about Harry’s death by releasing a statement on Jan. 19. “It is with enormous sorry 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,” they said. “Our hearts are shattered.”

The statement also revealed that Harry was “just days away from re-entering rehab” at the time of his death. “[Harry] achieved a lot in his 24 years,” the message concluded. “But we will never get the chance to see how much more Harry could have done.” Although Harry was well known due to his famous parents, he also forged his own path on the New York social scene, and achieved notoriety due to his top-notch sense of style. He also created a unisex makeup line with his big brother, Peter.
