ATLANTA (Reuters) - The daughter of late pop star Whitney
Houston is fighting for her life two days after being found unresponsive in a
bathtub at her suburban Atlanta home, her family said on Monday.
Bobbi Kristina Brown, Houston's 21-year-old daughter with
singer Bobby Brown, was rushed to a hospital in Roswell, Georgia, Saturday
morning after her husband and a friend found her in the tub and her husband
performed CPR.
"Bobbi Kristina is fighting for her life and is
surrounded by immediate family," the Houston family said in a statement.
"As her father already stated, we are asking you to honor our request for
privacy during this difficult time."
Her brain function will not be known until doctors reduce
the sedatives she is receiving, the source told CNN.
Tara Landy, a spokeswoman for North Fulton Hospital,
declined to comment on Brown's condition.
A police report released on Monday said officers responded
to the home in reference to a drowning. The narrative of the incident offered
no information about the young woman's condition or the circumstances leading
to her being found.
Officer Lisa Holland, spokeswoman for the Roswell Police
Department, said a search warrant and recording of the 911 call in the case
would not be made public until police finish their investigation.
"The Roswell Police Department will not be providing
any further information at this time," the spokeswoman said in an email.
Houston, a multiple Grammy Award winner and actress who
battled substance abuse, drowned in a bathtub in Beverly Hills, California on
Feb. 11, 2012. Authorities said cocaine use and heart disease contributed to
her death at age 48.
Bobby Brown asked for privacy on Sunday as he tended to his
daughter.
"Please allow for my family to deal with this matter
and give my daughter the love and support she needs at this time," he said
in a statement issued by his lawyer, Christopher Brown.
Brown's agent declined to comment further on Monday.
Bobby Brown is a Grammy Award winner who started his career
as frontman for the R&B group New Edition. Houston's dozens of hit songs
include "How Will I Know" and "I Will Always Love You."
