Bobby spoke about Whitney and Bobbi Kristina in an interview

Bobbi Kristina died at the age of 22 after she was found unconscious in a bathtub, spending six months in a medically induced coma before she tragically passed away. Her mother Whitney, who had long battled addiction, died three years earlier after she was found unresponsive in a bathtub.

In the emotional interview, which will released in full on 7 June, the R&B singer said: "The hardest thing I had to do in my life was tell my daughter to let go. My baby's gone. I thank God I'm still here."

At the time of Bobbi Kristina's passing, her father released a statement to Entertainment Tonight, writing: "Krissy was and is an angel. I am completely numb at this time. My family must find a way to live with her in spirit and honour her memory. Our loss is unimaginable.

"We want to again thank everyone for their tremendous amount of love and support during these last few months."
