Bobbi Kristina Brown Dead At 22

0

Nearly six months after being found face down and unresponsive in a bathtub in her Georgia home — and a month after being moved to hospice — Bobbi Kristina Brown, the only child of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, has died at the age of 22.

The Associated Press reported her death on Sunday night. “Bobbi Kristina Brown passed away July 26, 2015, surrounded by her family,” a rep for the Houston family said. “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 was discovered by friend Max Lomas and the man she referred to as her husband, Nick Gordon, on Jan. 31, and was transferred to an Atlanta-area hospital. Though no drugs were found at her home when medics arrived, a criminal investigation was eventually opened; however, no arrests have been made.

Upon arrival at the hospital, she continued breathing with the aid of a ventilator as friends and relatives flocked by her side. Within days, she had very little brain activity and was moved to Emory University Hospital, which is considered a top facility for neurological problems.

In 2005, Bobbi’s life with her famous parents was captured by cameras in the 11-episode series “Being Bobby Brown” on Bravo. Her parents divorced when Bobbi was 14. After her mother’s death, Brown and her family starred in a short-lived Lifetime reality series, titled “The Houstons: On Our Own.” After the series wrapped Brown was in and out of news headlines, with much of the media attention focusing on her relationship with boyfriend Nick Gordon, a man who lived with her family from the time she was a child and who she later referred to as her husband. Bobbi inherited her mother’s passion for the spotlight, performing both on stage and in front of the camera. When she was still a little girl, she sang live with Whitney on several occasions, and in 2011, she boldly recorded an a cappella YouTube version of Adele’s ballad “Someone Like You.”

Bobbi Kristina Brown and Bobby Brown were set to record a tribute to Houston later this year, a source told FOX411. Houston left her entire estate to her daughter-Bobbi, reportedly worth more than $100 million
