Bobbi Kristina's Family and the Stars React to Her Tragic Death
When Bobbi Kristina Brown died at age 22 this evening, her family and stars moved by her sad fate were quick to comment.
The Houston family statement on her passing reads:
"Bobbi Kristina Brown passed away 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."
Dionne Warwick also released her own statement, saying, "Our family has had its share of sorrow these past few years and it is with a heavy heart that I have to once again say so long to a loved one.........Bobbi is now sitting in the lap of our Heavenly Father and is now reunited with her beloved mother.........She will be missed and I send many thanks for all of the prayers that were being said for her.”
Most touchingly, her late mom Whitney Houston's Facebook page bears this sweet photo of the two:
It is hard to say goodbye. On Sunday, July 26, Bobbi Kristina Brown made her transition peacefully. The family thanks...
