Bobbi Kristina Brown, the daughter of the late Whitney Houston, has passed away at the age of 22, almost six months after being found unresponsive in a bathtub in her Georgia home earlier this year.
“Bobbi Kristina Brown passed away July, 26 2015, surrounded by her family,” the Houston family said in a statement.
“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.”
The 22-year-old had been in a medically induced coma since being discovered in the bathtub by then-boyfriend Nick Gordon on January 31. In June, she was moved into a hospice as her condition worsened.
At the same time, her court-appointed conservator filed a lawsuit alleging Nick had physically abused Bobbi Kristina and made unauthorised transfers from his girlfriend’s bank account to his own during the time they lived together.
Tension between Nick and the Houston/Brown family also saw him banned from visiting his girlfriend in hospital.

Bobbi Kristina had a close relationship with her mother Whitney and often accompanied her on tour and at various events. She was just 18 years old when Whitney passed away in 2012, and spoke of the difficulty coping with the traumatic event during an interview with Oprah Winfrey shortly afterwards.
“It comes in waves. One minute I could be laughing and happy, but then it will come over me. It’s my mom. I start crying, but then I hear her again, saying, ‘Come on, keep moving,'” she told Oprah
