Bobby Brown And Whitney Houston, Whitney Houston ex-husband Bobby Brown is said to be “struggling” following the news that the iconic singer has died.

The Bodyguard star was found unresponsive in a hotel room at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Los Angeles on Saturday afternoon.

A spokesperson from the Beverly Hills Police department confirmed that they received a 911 call at 3.43pm. They got to the scene two minutes later and the fire brigade where already there due to an event happening at the hotel.

Hotel staff were already performing CPR on Whitney but the 48-year-old was pronounced dead at 3.55pm local time.

A CNN reporter spoke to singer Johnny Gill who is in Memphis with Bobby as their group New Edition is currently on a tour.

“Bobby is struggling and he’s devastated,” Johnny told the news channel.

He said that Bobby had spoken to his 18-year-old daughter with Whitney, Bobbi Kristina, and that she was “not doing well.”

Bobby and Whitney divorced in 2007 after 15 years of marriage.

Authorities have not yet confirmed the cause of death and will launch an investigation. But police have said there was no obvious sign of foul play on initial inspection.

Whitney came from a musical dynasty. Her mother Cissy Houston was a famed gospel singer and her cousin Dionne Warwick is also an esteemed performer.

Celebrities have taken to Twitter in their droves to voice their shock and sadness at the passing of one of America’s greatest talents.

“Heartbroken and in tears over the shocking death of my friend, the incomparable Ms. Whitney Houston,” Mariah Carey wrote. “She will never be forgotten as one of the greatest voices to ever grace the earth.”

“No words! Just tears,” Rihanna wrote. “Feels so strange being at the Grammy rehearsal right now!”

Whitney Houstons Daughter, Whitney Houston’s death is sad, tragic and way too soon, but Whitney’s struggle with drug use and some of the behaviors she’s displayed in the past take some of the shock away from this news. Whitney was staying at the Beverly Hilton Hotel to attend the Clive Davis pre-Grammy party on Saturday night and the Grammys on Sunday. When she showed up for rehearsals on Thursday, many say she displayed erratic behavior and looked disheveled and bloated.

Whitney’s clothes were mismatched and her hair was dripping wet, either from sweat or water. People saw her wandering almost aimlessly through the lobby and she also acted child-like at times, breaking out into skipping like a kid periodically in the ballroom. Calls came in to security that the singer was doing hand-stands out by the pool. According to the LA Times, Whitney’s seen dancing just off camera during interviews at the rehearsals; she was making people laugh.

The singer continued in this fashion until her daughter pulled her from the room. Whitney’s survived by only one child who is now the true victim in this latest tragic news. Whitney and Bobby Brown’s daughter, Bobbi Kristina, is 19 years old.

Whitney’s daughter was at the Grammys supporting her mom; little did she know how devastating this event would turn out. Reports put Whitney and Bobbi Kristina like best friends, so she not only lost her mom, but also her closest pal. While no one knows what caused the death of Whitney as of yet, many surmise it is drug related. If that’s the case, then this is just one more very sad incident of how drugs devastate not only the drug user, but also their loved ones. Drugs leave a ton of wreckage behind.
