​Bobbi Kristina Brown fighting for her life, says rep

Bobbi Kristina Brown's outlook is bleak

Bobbi Kristina Brown is fighting for her life, a representative for Whitney Houston's family said Monday. She remained in a medically induced coma Monday.

Police said the 21-year-old daughter of Whitney Houston and R&B singer Bobby Brown was taken to a hospital Saturday after she was found face down and unresponsive in a bathtub in a suburban Atlanta townhome.

Although Brown's condition is not the result of a suicide attempt, ET reported, a person close to the family said it was "no coincidence" she was found in circumstances similar to her mother's death in 2015.

Bobbi Kristina identified herself on Twitter as "Daughter of Queen WH," ''Entertainer/Actress" with William Morris & Co., and "LAST of a dying breed."

But her mother was an impossible act to follow.

Houston had her first No. 1 hit at 22, and then a flurry of No. 1 songs, selling more than 50 million records in the United States alone.

Her voice, an ideal blend of power, grace and beauty, made classics out of "Saving All My Love For You," ''I Will Always Love You," ''The Greatest Love of All" and "I'm Every Woman." Her six Grammys joined many other awards.

Bobbi Kristina inherited her mother's entire estate, but not her voice.

Aside from her family's short-lived reality TV show "The Houstons: On Our Own," she has mostly appeared in online "selfies" and images captured by paparazzi.

She told Oprah Winfrey in an interview she wanted to sing, act and dance, like her mother - and that she was coping as best she could. But in the years after her mother's death, she mostly made headlines for drug use, weight loss and family disputes, failing to escape the tumult she had known all her life.

The family's representative said in a statement that Brown is surrounded by immediate family and that the family was requesting privacy. No more details were provided.

"We are asking you to honor our request for privacy during this difficult time," the statement read. "Thank you for your prayers, well wishes, and we greatly appreciate your continued support. "

Earlier, ET had reported that family was told to prepare for the worst.

Stars have take to social media sending their prayers and support to Brown.
