WHITNEY Houston’s daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown has “significantly diminished” brain function after being pulled unconscious from her bathtub on Saturday and doctors have told her family it does not look good.
The TMZ entertainment news website reports that sources connected with the family say the 21-year-old is currently on a ventilator but tests have determined her brain function is alarmingly low.
Bobbi Kristina’s dad, Bobby Brown, is at her bedside.
He released a statement to Us Weekly about his daughter asking for privacy.
“Please allow for my family to deal with this matter and give my daughter the love and support she needs at this time,” he asked.
He did not provide an update on his daughter’s condition, but his legal counsel, Christopher Brown of Brown & Rosen LLC, did say: “The report that Bobbi Kristina Brown has been taken to the hospital in Atlanta, Georgia is accurate. No additional information will be forthcoming.”
The daughter of Brown and late singer Whitney Houston was found unconscious by her husband Nick Gordon and a friend at her Georgia home, in an eerie echo of her mother’s tragic death three years ago.

TMZ.com said Gordon and the friend had performed CPR at the scene after making the discovery.
“She is still alive and breathing and other than that I do not know her condition at this time,” Roswell Police Department spokeswoman Lisa Holland told a news conference yesterday.
Emergency services were called to assist before Brown was whisked to North Fulton Hospital for treatment.
TMZ reported that sources close to the family said Bobbi Kristina had been placed in a medically induced coma to address swelling on the brain.

Soul diva Whitney Houston died in February 2012 when she was found in a bathtub at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles on the eve of the music industry’s annual Grammy Awards show.
Coroners concluded she died by accidental drowning, with cocaine use and heart disease as contributing factors.
Various bottles were found in the singer’s hotel room — in all some 12 medications prescribed by five different doctors, including anxiety treatment Xanax and the potent corticosteroid Prednisone, the report said.
The singer of hits such as “I Will Always Love You” sold more than 170 million records during a nearly three-decade career, but also fought a long battle against substance abuse.
The singer left all of her assets to Bobbi Kristina — born from her troubled marriage to singer Bobby Brown — while excluding her ex-husband.
