Bobbi Kristina died on Sunday at Peachtree Christian Hospice in Duluth, Ga., after she was found in the suburban Atlanta townhome she shared with Nick Gordon, the man she called her husband, in late January.
Bobbi Kristina was born to the multiple Grammy-award winning singer in Livingston, N.J., on March 4, 1993, eight months into her mother's rocky marriage to the music industry bad boy.
Her grandmother is the American soul and gospel singer Cissy Houston.
Despite being born in the spotlight, Bobbi Kristina, who tweeted about getting her career "off the ground" just weeks before she was hospitalized, never attained a fraction of the stardom of her late mother.
Aside from her family's short-lived reality TV show, The Houstons: On Our Own, Bobbi Kristina mostly appeared in online "selfies" and paparazzi images.
Despite the differences in Bobbi Kristina's and Whitney's careers, there are eerie similarities in the way the women lived and died.
While the exact cause of Bobbi Kristina's death has yet to be determined, Whitney was also found unresponsive in a bathtub of water.
