Bobbi Kristina Brown, the daughter of late singer Whitney Houston, has died at the age of 22 - six months after she was found unresponsive in a bathtub at her Atlanta home.

Ms Brown had suffered irreversible brain damage when she was discovered on 31 January.

She spent months in a medically-induced coma and was moved into hospice care in June. She never regained consciousness.

The incident was described as a "drowning" in a police report, and Ms Brown was breathing with the aid of a ventilator.

Her death was confirmed in a statement on Whitney Houston's official Facebook page, which read: "It is hard to say goodbye.

"On Sunday, July 26, Bobbi Kristina Brown made her transition peacefully. The family thanks everyone for their loving thoughts and prayers.

"As Bobbi Kristina would say: 'The wind is behind me and the sun is in my face'."

Kristen Foster, a representative for the Houston family, added: "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."

Ms Brown was being treated at the Peachtree Christian Hospice in Duluth, Georgia, and her relatives had been keeping a daily vigil at her bedside.

In February 2012, her mother Whitney Houston died aged 48 from accidental drowning in a bathtub at a hotel in Beverly Hills, California.

Authorities said years of cocaine abuse and heart disease played a key role in Houston's death.

Bobbi Kristina, born in 1993, was her only child, and was treated in hospital twice with anxiety after her mother's passed away.

In an interview with Oprah Winfrey shortly afterwards, Ms Brown had spoken of her aspirations to carry on her mother's legacy by dancing, acting and singing.

After news of the young woman's death emerged, Winfrey tweeted: "Peace at last!"
