Bobbi Kristina Brown, the only child of late singer Whitney Houston and Bobbi Brown, has been moved to hospice care, her aunt, Pat Houston, announced Wednesday.
USA Today reports that Houston’s spokeswoman emailed a statement claiming the 22-year-old, who’s been unconscious after being found unresponsive in a bathtub in her Georgia home earlier this year, is “in God’s hands now.”
“Despite the great medical care at numerous facilities, Bobbi Kristina Brown’s condition has continued to deteriorate. As of today, she has been moved into hospice care. We thank everyone for their support and prayers. She is in God’s hands now. “
The statement was signed by Pat Houston, who is married to the brother of Bobbi Kristina’s late mother and is the executor of Whitney’s estate.
The move to a hospice suggests Brown is in the final stages of care.
In January Bobbi Kristina was found by partner Nick Gordon, face down and unresponsive in the bathtub of her Georgia home in circumstances so eerily similar to that of her mother, legendary pop Queen, Whitney Houston.
Houston was 48 when she was found drowned in a bathtub at the Beverly Hilton hotel in LA in 2012.
Authorities reportedly found a cocktail of prescription pills in her suite and listed heart disease and cocaine use as contributors – Houston’s battle with substance abuse had been the fodder of media headlines for many years in the lead up to her death.
Bobbi Kristina was only 18 years old at the time of her mother’s death and is the sole heir to her estate.
In the three years since Whitney’s death, Brown has reportedly suffered deep emotional hardship since.
