The family of Bobbi Kristina Brown, the daughter of the late singer Whitney Houston, are "praying for a swift recovery", her cousin has said.

She was found unresponsive in a bathtub on Saturday morning by her husband Nick Gordon and a friend at a home in Roswell, Georgia, in what was an eerie echo of her mother's death in 2012.

The pair started performing CPR, as did medics who were called to the home. Ms Brown (21) was revived after being rushed to the local North Fulton Hospital.

Her cousin Jerod Brown said: "She's pretty good right now, she's around family. What I do want to say is thanks for all the prayers and support that the fans have been showing Bobbi Kristina."

"We're just praying for a speedy recovery, that's it."

Mr Brown did not comment on reports Ms Brown has been put in a medically-induced coma, saying: "She's doing fine right now. That's all I can give you right now."

He added: "I'm pretty sure she'll be getting out of there very soon."

When asked how his cousin was feeling ahead of the upcoming anniversary of her mother's death, Mr Brown said: "She's in good spirits. Of course she goes through the grieving because it's still fresh, but other than that she's doing fine."

Whitney Houston died aged 48 from accidental drowning in a bathtub at a hotel in Beverly Hills, California, in February 2012.

She left her entire estate to her only child, although she must wait until she is 30 to inherit everything.

However, under the terms of the will a trust administered by Houston's family was to dole out money to Ms Brown at ages 21 and 25.

A coroner concluded that heart disease and cocaine use were contributing factors in Houston's death.

Houston, a gospel singer's daughter, won six Grammy awards and sold more than 50 million records in the US alone.

Her hits included Saving All My Love For You, I Will Always Love You, The Greatest Love Of All and I'm Every Woman.
