Bobbi Kristina Brown Dies at 22 Years Old — Oprah Says, “Peace at Last!”

Atlanta, GA — Bobbi Kristina Brown, the daughter of late superstar Whitney Houston and singer Bobby Brown, has died at the age of 22. She had been hospitalized and remained in a coma since January 2015, when she was found unconscious in a bathtub. In June, she had been moved to a hospice facility.

A statement released by the family says: “Bobbi Kristina Brown passed away Sunday, July, 26 2015, surrounded by her family. 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.”

Sadly, Bobbi Kristina died in a similar way to her mother who, about three years earlier, accidentally drowned in a bathtub in Beverly Hills. Authorities later determined the cause to be heart problems and a drug overdose.

News of her death sparked an instant outpouring of mourning and condolences on social media, even amongst celebrities who spoke out via Twitter.
