Daughter of Bobby Brown, Whitney Houston died Sunday, nearly 6 months after found unresponsive in a tub
Celebrities sent their condolences to the family of Bobbi Kristina Brown, which is dealing with its second tragedy in recent years. Her mother, songstress Whitney Houston, died in 2012.
Brown died Sunday at the age of 22. She had been in a coma for about six months after being found face-down and unresponsive in a bathtub in January.
She died "surrounded by her family. She is finally at peace in the arms of God," Kristen Foster, a representative for the Houston family said Sunday.

"You kept telling me life wasn't the same without Mommy," she wrote in the caption. "In all this pain and every tear I shed I find a small bit of peace knowing that [you're] with her again."
Houston, who was 48 years old when she died, was discovered in a hotel room the day before the 2012 Grammy Awards. Paramedics were unable to revive her.
"I always loved when you would say, 'Mon I need a hug,'" the caption continues. "I would lift you off the ground LOL share those hugs & that beautiful smile in Heaven."

Actress Tamera Mowry-Housley said her "heart aches" at the news.
"As a mother... I have no words."
Missy Elliott echoed that sentiment sending "extra prayers" to Brown's father, Bobby Brown, and her grandmother, Cissy Houston, who has now outlived her daughter Whitney Houston and granddaughter.
Oprah Winfrey, who interviewed Bobbi Kristina Brown shortly after her mother's death, also expressed her condolences.
