Bobbi Kristina Brown, daughter of the late entertainer Whitney Houston and R&B singer Bobby Brown, died Sunday. She was 22.
She had been placed in hospice care in June following months of hospitalization in Atlanta since she was found face-down and unresponsive in a bathtub of her townhouse Jan. 31.
"She is finally at peace in the arms of God," said Kristen Foster, a representative for the Houston family. "We want to again thank everyone for their tremendous amount of love and support during these last few months."
Bobbi Kristina was the only child between Brown and Houston, who died in 2012.
Brown had told Oprah Winfrey shortly after her mother's death that she wanted to carry on her mother's legacy by singing, acting and dancing. But her career never took off.
Actor and producer Tyler Perry said she had a future as an actress after her debut on his TV show For Better or Worse in 2012, but she appeared in only one episode.
Aside from two ill-fated reality TV shows and the occasional paparazzi video, her image mostly showed up in the "selfies" she posted online. She became social media sensation, sending more than 11,000 tweets and attracting 164,000 followers.
Bobbi Kristina had appeared alongside both parents in 2005 on the Bravo reality show Being Bobby Brown, which captured her parents fighting, swearing and appearing in court.
The Hollywood Reporter said the show revealed that Brown was "even more vulgar than the tabloids suggest" and managed "to rob Houston of any last shreds of dignity."
After their divorce in 2007, Houston kept custody of Bobbi Kristina, but their tight bond was shattered when Houston's assistant found her lifeless body face-down in a foot of water in her bathtub at the Beverly Hills Hotel just before the Grammy Awards in 2012.
Authorities determined that it was an accidental drowning but found evidence of drug use.
Bobbi Kristina, then 18, was at the hotel and became so hysterical she had to be hospitalized.
"She wasn't only a mother; she was a best friend," she told Winfrey.
