Bobbi Kristina Brown, daughter of late singer Whitney Houston, has died aged 22, a family representative has said.

Kristen Foster said she passed away on Sunday surrounded by her family and was "finally at peace in the arms of God".

Brown was discovered unresponsive in a bathtub on 31 January and placed in a medically induced coma. She never regained consciousness.

She was moved to a hospice in the city of Duluth, Georgia, a month ago after her condition deteriorated.

Brown was the only daughter of Houston and R&B singer Bobby Brown.

Whitney Houston was found dead in a hotel bath in Los Angeles in 2012.

"Bobbi Kristina Brown passed away July 26 2015, surrounded by her family," Ms Foster said.

"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."

The BBC's Reagan Morris in Los Angeles says Brown had dreamed of carrying on her mother's legacy as a singer and actress, and had had a few small TV roles - but her career had not yet taken off.

But in January, police said Brown was found face down in a bathtub in the suburban Atlanta home that she shared with Nick Gordon, the man she called her husband. A police report described the incident as a "drowning".

Mr Gordon said at the time that she didn't appear to be breathing and lacked a pulse before emergency services arrived.

Brown was placed in a medically-induced coma and was breathing with the aid of a ventilator.

Παντρεύτηκε ο εγγονός της Γκρέις Κέλι -Το ρομαντικό, διαφορετικό νυφικό της ζάμπλουτης Ιταλίδας νύφης

Παρουσία γαλαζοαίματων και εκλεκτών καλεσμένων

 πραγματοποιήθηκε ο πολιτικός γάμος του εγγονού της

 Γκρέις Κέλι, Πιερ Κασιράγκι και της αριστοκράτισσας Ιταλίδας 

καλλονής Μπεατρίς Μπορομέο.

Η νύφη φορούσε μία δαντελένια δημιουργία Valentino Haute Couture σε ροζ

 απόχρωση με χρυσές λεπτομέρειες, ενώ για τη δεξίωση που έγινε στο

 πολυτελέστατο ξενοδοχείο «Hôtel de Paris» προτίμησε ένα μακρύ λευκό φόρεμα

 του ίδιου οίκου. Στην τελετή παρεστησαν μόλις 70 άτομα, ενώ στη δεξίωση οι 

καλεσμένοι ήταν περίπου 500.

Σε φωτογραφία λίγο μετά το μυστήριο που διέρρευσε στο διαδίκτυο, ο Πιερ

 Κασιράγκι και η Μπεατρίς Μπορομέο φαίνονται σε ένα μπαλκόνι του ανακτόρου

 να ποζάρουν χαμογελαστοί και ευτυχισμένοι.

Ο θρησκευτικός γάμος του ζευγαριού θα πραγματοποιηθεί την 1η Αυγούστου,

 στα νησιά Μπορομέο, στη βόρεια Ιταλία, που ανήκουν στην οικογένειά της

 νύφης από τον 17ο αιώνα.
