Bobbi KristinaBrown, the 22-year-old daughter of R&B singers Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown has died. According to Entertainment Tonight, Brown died at the Peachtree Christian Hospice in Duluth, Georgia, surrounded by her loved ones.
“She is finally at peace in the arms of God,” the Houston family said in statement to ET. “We want to again thank everyone for their tremendous amount of love and support during these last few months.”
On January 21, she was found unresponsive in her Georgia home by her husband, Nick Gordon, face down in their bathtub. It is believed she was without oxygen for quite some time. Sources say Bobbi was revived and rushed to North Fulton Hospital where she was stabilized, but was able to breathe only with the help of a ventilator with very little brain activity. But things took a turn for the worse ten days later, on January 31, when Bobbi was placed in a medically induced coma and her condition was described as “significantly diminished.”

And her condition continued to deteriorate from there. Weeks ago, her family reportedly decided to take her off of life support. A source close to the family says that she had also been taken off her meds and the family was told she would pass at any moment.
Bobbi Kristina’s eerie and untimely death comes just months after the third anniversary of Whitney’s death on Feb. 11, 2012 (which was ruled an accidental drowning). On Jan. 26, Bobbi tweeted:
“Littlelady&yourgrowing young man @nickdgordon miss you mommy ..:’) SOmuch.. loving you more every sec. #Anniversary!”
Six months later, her sad and disturbing and distressing spiral came to an end.
It was widely speculated that Bobbi Kristina had followed in her parents’ footsteps of drug addiction, however, a source close to Bobbi K told PEOPLE that in the months before her death, Bobbi denied any drug use. “She said, ‘I know how my mother died, and I’ve learned from her mistakes,’ ” the source recalls. “She seemed very adamant.”
According to the terms of the will, in the wake of her death, family matriarch Cissy Houston and Whitney’s two surviving brothers, Michael and Gary are next in line to inherit the Houston estate — which includes full royalties from the late singer’s music, likeness and image. Bobbi Kristina inherited 10 percent (about $2 million) when she turned 21 and was scheduled to inherit another 15 percent at age 25, before receiving the remainder at 30.
Rest in peace Bobbi Kristina. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Houston and Brown families.
