Bobbi Kristina Brown, the daughter of late
superstar Whitney Houston and singer Bobby Brown, died Sunday at the age of 22,
a representative of the Houston family said in a statement.
“Bobbi Kristina Brown passed away Sunday, July,
26 2015, surrounded by her family,” the statement 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.”
She was treated in a hospital and then a hospice
facility in the nearly six months since she was found unresponsive and not
breathing in the bathtub at her Roswell home on January 31 — nearly three years
to the day after her mother accidentally drowned in a bathtub in Beverly Hills,
a victim of the vices she had fought for much of her career.
Brown was placed in a medically induced coma,
relatives have said. Rumors flew about her condition, with family members and
loved ones taking sides in the drama.
In April, her maternal grandmother, Cissy
Houston, said Bobbi Kristina had “global and irreversible brain damage.”
“Meeting with the doctors and understanding that
she can live in this condition for a lifetime truly saddens me,” Houston said.
“We can only trust in God for a miracle at this time.”
The statement was released days after her father
and Whitney Houston’s former husband, R & B singer Bobby Brown, told an
audience in Dallas, “I can say today, Bobbi is awake. She’s watching me.”
