Despite living her life in the public eye and it being awash with devastating loss and a tragic end – Bobbi Kristina Brown still fit so much into her short, but powerful lifetime.
During happier times her smile was contagious and her love infectious, Bobbi was unquestionably the apple of the parent’s eye.
In her last ever interview, Whitney Houston touchingly told Access Hollywood, “My daughter is my greatest inspiration.”
Bobbi clearly idolised her mother too, telling Oprah in 2012 after her death: “She wasn’t only a mother, she was a best friend. She was a sister, a comforter.”
