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.”

Everything coming to PBS in November 2024
Rachel Shenton and Nicholas Ralph in All Creatures Great and Small.

There are no new British dramas premiering on PBS in November, but there's more than enough programming to see you through the penultimate month of 2024. Ken Burns is premiering his new documentary, Leonardo da Vinci, about the world's most famous Renaissance man, artist, and inventor. And PBS has several other documentary and nature programs slated to run throughout the month.

PBS' non-partisan coverage of the 2024 presidential election will culminate on Tuesday, November 5. But if you're really missing your British dramas, there are encore presentations of All Creatures Great & Small and Call the Midwife coming as well.

What’s new on Amazon Prime Video in November 2024
A man stands in front of a caution sign.

James Patterson's Alex Cross character is getting a third chance in live-action this month on Amazon Prime Video. Morgan Freeman and Tyler Perry have previously portrayed the titular detective character. Now, Black Adam's Aldis Hodge steps into the role. The new Cross series is Prime Video's biggest debut in November, but far from the only noteworthy addition. There are a lot of new additions to the streamer's movie lineup, including The Godfather trilogy, Silver Linings Playbook, and the unconventional vampire film Abigail.

Additionally, Prime Video is rebooting Cruel Intentions as a drama series, which has the potential to be another big hit for the streamer. And aside from Die Hard, there are only a handful of Christmas titles coming this month. We can appreciate a little restraint, especially since December will likely be a very different story.
