Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown’s daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown has died. She was 22. According to TMZ, Bobbi Kristina passed away at the hospice care facility that she’s been staying at since June 24.

The Houston family announced the news on Sunday afternoon. “Bobbi Kristina Brown passed away July 26, surrounded by her family,” the statement says. “She is finally at peace in the arms of God. We want to again thank everyone for their tremendous amount of love and support during these last few months.”

At the beginning of 2015, Bobbi Kristina was found face down in a filled bathtub by her longtime boyfriend Nick Gordon, and friend Max Lomas, who attempted to revive her, according to ABC News. Once the paramedics arrived, they performed CPR and rushed her to North Fulton Hospital in Roswell.

Bobbi Kristina was then kept on life support following her near-drowning. Back in March, she was moved to a long-term care facility in the Atlanta area. In June, she was then transferred to the hospice as her “condition continued to deteriorate,” according to a statement made on behalf of the Houston Family.

Bobbi Kristina’s death comes a little more than three years after the death of her mother, Whitney Houston, who was also discovered unconscious in her bathtub. An investigation determined the singer passed away from drowning, and a toxicology report found she had cocaine and other medication in her system.

A month after Houston’s death, Bobbi Kristina spoke with Oprah Winfrey about the loss of her mother, saying, “It comes in waves. One minute I could be laughing and happy, but then it will come over me. It’s my mom. I start crying, but then I hear her again, saying, “come on, keep moving.”

Bobby Gonzalez and Jeffrey Licon on The Garcias and the power of representation

The Brothers García portrays the trials and tribulations of a Mexican American family in San Antonio, Texas, but it represents so much more than your typical sitcom. During its four-year run on Nickelodeon in the early 2000s, The Brothers García became a groundbreaking show for its authentic depiction of the Latino community by an all-Latino cast and creative team. Almost two decades later, co-creator Jeff Valdez is looking to inspire a new generation of fans with a sequel to the hit series titled The Garcias.

Set 15 years after the original series, the Garcia family is all grown up as they gather for a family summer vacation in Mexico. The show brings back all of the original cast members including Bobby Gonzalez (George Garcia) and Jeffrey Licon (Carlos Garcia). Digital Trends spoke with Gonzalez and Licon about the long journey to reboot The Brothers García, the challenges of returning to characters from their teenage years, the importance of representation in Hollywood, and why it continues to be a landmark show.

Samsung’s big Galaxy S22 Ultra has an S Pen surprise inside
Galaxy S22 Ultra with a dog.

Missing the Galaxy Note? The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is the answer to your prayers, as Samsung’s new range-topping S Series device comes with a built-in S Pen, along with all the camera technology and sleek styling that made the Galaxy S21 Ultra such a winning device. Could this be the definitive Samsung flagship phone? Let’s dive into the specifications.

The S Pen slides into a storage space inside the phone’s chassis, just like it did on the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra and the models that came before it. The Galaxy S22 Ultra is, therefore, a big smartphone. It’s 8.9mm thick and a few millimeters wider than the S21 Ultra, and a pocket-worrying 229 grams in weight. The screen measures 6.8-inches and has a 120Hz refresh rate, a QHD+ resolution, and a new Vision Booster feature. Vision Booster promises to improve viewing in sunlight with a potential maximum brightness of 1,750 nits, to show more colors, and return better contrast too.
