Missy Elliott: Bobbi Kristina’s like my sister

Missy Elliott views Bobbi Kristina Brown as a "little sister".

The 21-year-old daughter of Bobby Brown and late songstress Whitney Houston is currently hospitalised after being found facedown in a bathtub full of water unresponsive on Saturday.

It's claimed Bobbi Kristina is in a medically induced coma currently and Missy is extremely concerned of her welfare.

"Bobbi is like a little sister to me," Missy shared with Yahoo's The Insider. "I have been very close to her mother. One thing that her mother said to me before she passed away was to make sure Bobbi Kristina was straight, so my prayers for healing [are] that she comes out and be around people that love her."

According to reports, the prognosis for Bobbi Kristina isn't looking very good. TMZ claims medical practitioners ran some tests engineered to determine how her brain reacts to different stimuli. A source tells the outlet Bobbi Kristina's brain showed "minimal response" to one of the tests, which is a slight improvement on her condition. Apparently doctors are recommending she remain on life support, with the aid of a ventilator and other machines, for a bit longer due to the positive test result.

However, it's believed the situation still remains bleak, as X17 Online reports she has been transferred to another hospital in the Atlanta area in a final effort to revive her consciousness.

Bobbi Kristina's mother Whitney died in February 2012 in a similar manner. Her lifeless body was found submerged in a bathtub at a Beverly Hills hotel suite.

According to People, Bobbi Kristina's father Bobby might have to make the decision to take his daughter off life support if doctors can't revive her.

"[Bobby is] inconsolable," a source told the outlet. "This is his worst nightmare. Losing Whitney [Houston] was hard, but this is a million times worse, and to lose her in the same way would devastate him."
