Brown died on Sunday, nearly six months after she was found unresponsive in a bathtub in her Georgia home in late January. The young woman never fully regained consciousness and had been on life-support since the incident. The only daughter of Houston — who died three years ago from an accidental drowning in a bathtub — and singer Bobby Brown, Bobbi Kristina had spent much of her life in the limelight. As news of her death spread, everyone from Reverend Al Sharpton to Oprah and Missy Elliot to Ava DuVernay expressed their sadness and offered condolences to the family on Twitter. > [](https://twitter.com/MissyElliott/status/625477156001443845) > [](https://twitter.com/Oprah/status/625482202466250753) > [](https://twitter.com/AVAETC/status/625478245455134720) > [](https://twitter.com/TherealTaraji/status/625479591273086976) > [](https://twitter.com/fatbellybella/status/625473856568885250) > [](https://twitter.com/Rosie/status/625475943356874753) > [](https://twitter.com/KeriHilson/status/625471851548971008) > [](https://twitter.com/TheRevAl/status/625479227836637184) > [](https://twitter.com/ReggieBush/status/625478009093427201) > [](https://twitter.com/jermainedupri/status/625475029514457088) > [](https://twitter.com/SherriEShepherd/status/625476870197374977) > [](https://twitter.com/TheSaltNPepa/status/625473023315984384) ### See Bobbi Kristina Brown and Her Family in Photos  Whitney Houston holds her daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown on June 15, 1993.
