Bobbi Kristina Brown has been moved to a hospice, five months after suffering irreversible brain damage and being medically induced in a coma.

The only child of the late Whitney Houston was found face down and unresponsive in a bath tub at her Georgia home in January.

She was placed in a medically induced coma shortly after, but her father told fans in April "my baby's awake". Initial reports suggested she may not survive.

A statement issued by the Houston family on Wednesday said: “Bobbi Kristina Brown’s condition has continued to deteriorate. As of today, she has been moved into hospice care. She is in God’s hands now.”

There have been conflicting accounts of her health from both sides of her family since she was hospitalised. The Brown family lawyers have previously discouraged people from believing certain statements coming from the Houston family, as they have not got permission to visit Bobbi.

Nick Gordon, her then boyfriend who found her at the time, has since been hit with a $10 million lawsuit filed on Wednesday. He is accused of causing her life-threatening injuries and stealing from her bank account while she was in a coma, reports Reuters.
