“I am deeply saddened at the passing of my ex-wife, Whitney Houston. At this time, we ask for privacy, especially for my daughter, Bobbi Kristina. I appreciate all of the condolences that have been directed toward my family and I at this most difficult time.” Said Bobby Brown.

Bobby was scheduled to perform in Southhaven, Mississippi on Saturday night when he learned of the sudden and tragic news of Whitney’s passing.

“Today my daughter did visit with doctors at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. She has been released and is presently with my family, including her siblings,” said Brown.

He added, “Obviously the death of her mother is affecting her, however, we will get through this tragedy as a family. Again, I ask for privacy during this time.”

Bobbi Kristina was taken to the hospital after suffering from stress and anxiety and was released Sunday. Brown cancelled a concert with New Edition in Nashville to fly to L.A. to be with his daughter.

Brown and Houston were married from 1992 to 2007 and shared a daughter named Bobbi Kristina, now 19. In 2007, in the wake of the couple’s high-profile divorce proceedings, a judge awarded Houston full custody of their daughter.
