ATLANTA -- Bobbi Kristina, daugher of late music star Whitney Houston, died Sunday at Peachtree Christian Hospice in Duluth, Georgia, about six months after she was found face-down and unresponsive in a bathtub in the suburban Atlanta townhome she shared with Nick Gordon, the man she called her husband. She was 22 years old.

"Bobbi Kristina Brown passed away July, 26 2015, surrounded by her family. 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," Kristen Foster, a representative for the Houston family said Sunday.

Police said she was found Jan. 31 in the suburban Atlanta townhome she shared with Gordon. A police report described it as a "drowning."

Bobbi Kristina was the only child between Houston and Bobby Brown.

She was hospitalized for months in Atlanta -- eventually being placed in hospice care -- after being found in a manner similar to the way her megastar mother died three years earlier. Gordon said at the time it seemed she wasn't breathing and lacked a pulse before help arrived.

She identified herself on Twitter as "Daughter of Queen WH," "Entertainer/Actress" with William Morris & Co. and "LAST of a dying breed." She told Oprah Winfrey shortly after her mother's death in 2012 she wanted to carry on her mother's legacy by singing, acting and dancing. But her career never took off.

Actor and producer Tyler Perry said she had a future as an actress after her debut on his TV show "For Better or Worse" in 2012, but she appeared in only one episode.

Aside from two ill-fated reality TV shows and the occasional paparazzi video, her image mostly showed up in the "selfies" she posted online.

She attended award shows and appeared on red carpets with her mother and father. She performed a duet on TV with her mother in 2009, singing "My Love Is Your Love" in New York's Central Park.
