The daughter of the late Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, Bobbi Kristina Brown, has died. She was 22.
The Houston family announced the news via a statement from their rep.
“Bobbi Kristina Brown passed away July, 26 2015, surrounded by her family,” the statement says. “She is finally at peace in the arms of God. We want to again thank everyone for their tremendous amount of love and support during these last few months.”
Bobbi Kristina’s death came nearly six months after she was found unresponsive in a bathtub in her Roswell, Georgia, home on Saturday, Jan. 31. She never fully regained consciousness and was being kept on life support following her near-drowning. In March she was moved to a long-term care facility in the Atlanta area.
In June, she was transferred to hospice after her condition “continued to deteriorate,” Pat Houston said in a statement on behalf of the Houston family at the time.
“We thank everyone for their support and prayers,” Pat, who is married to Whitney Houston’s brother Gary, said. “She is in God’s hands now.”
Bobbi Kristina’s death comes just after Bobby became a father once again. He and wife Alicia Etheredge welcomed a daughter less than a month ago.
Shortly after her mother died, Bobbi Kristina raised eyebrows when she went public with her relationship with Nick Gordon, who was raised as Houston’s son but was never formally adopted by the singer. Despite claiming that they had tied the knot last January, the couple were not legally wed, Bobby’s attorney said on Feb. 3.
Gordon and Bobby publicly traded barbs in the months following Bobbi Kristina’s hospitalization. Gordon claimed that Bobby was refusing to let him see Bobbi Kristina and Bobby’s legal team said that Gordon had to meet conditions in order to visit. During the ensuing drama, Gordon checked into rehab, which he completed in late April.
In June, Bobbi Kristina’s conservators filed a $10 million civil lawsuit against Gordon, accusing him of assaulting, fleecing and controlling her when they lived together.
My two-cents: So sad. They’re going to come full force with Nick.
