Whitney Houston's daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown hospitalised, Bobby Brown asks for privacy

Bobby Brown, Whitney Houston's former husband and father of Bobbi Kristina Brown, visited his daughter in hospital and asked fans for support and prayers during this tough time.

Bobby issued a statement on his daughter after news broke out that she was hospitalised following a bathtub medical emergency, reported Ace Showbiz. Bobby has flown from Los Angeles to be by her side. He stated, "Privacy is requested in this matter. Please allow for my family to deal with this matter and give my daughter the love and support she needs at this time." His lawyer added, "No additional information will be forthcoming."

Bobbi, 21, was rushed to the intensive care unit of North Fulton Hospital after being found by her husband Nick Gordon and a friend unconscious in a bathtub at her home in Roswell, Georgia. She is on a ventilator and remains in a medically-induced coma one, but her condition is considered stable.

In the wake of the shocking incident, people sent their prayers to the family. "Still Praying for Bobbi Kristina I see some people making jokes. She lost her mom thats tougher than you may think to deal with," Missy Elliott tweeted. "Healing energy to the daughter of a late great friend," tweeted music director Michael Bearden.

Songwriter Diane Warren wrote, "I hope Bobbi Kristina gets the help she needs. Poor thing, almost 3 yrs to the day her mom passed and the same thing almost happened to her."

Bobbi Kristina is Houston's only daughter with ex-husband Bobby. Three years ago on the eve of the 2012 Grammy Awards, her famous mother died in the same manner.
