Houston Family Friend Todd Chrisley: 'My Heart Breaks For Bobbi Kristina'
Feb. 5 2015, Published 4:58 p.m. ET
Family members and friends of Bobbi Kristina Brown and her late mother, Whitney Houston, are reeling after the aspiring singer was found unconscious in her bathtub last Saturday morning.
Chrisley Knows Best patriarch Todd Chrisley, who says he was close to Houston as Atlanta neighbors before her shocking drugs and drowning death in 2012, is devastated about the news of the 21-year-old's grim medical crisis, the reality star, 45, exclusively tells RadarOnline.com.
“My heart breaks for Bobbi Kristina,” he says. “She is the same age as my son, Kyle, and they went to the same middle-school together.”
Sadly, Chrisley's son is also deeply troubled. As RadarOnline.com exclusively reported, the 23-year-old was hospitalized in December after threatening to kill his father in the midst of a crack binge.
Perhaps thinking of his own family troubles, Chrisley says he empathizes with Brown's pain after her mother died suddenly.
“My heart really and truly breaks because I know the heartache that she felt when her mother passed,” he explains. “Some people cope with things differently, and I hope and pray that the Lord will grant her peace regardless of the outcome.”
“All of our friends knew Whitney from the country club and my heart goes out to that family. God bless them.”
Chrisley is especially thinking about Houston's mother Cissy, 81, who published a memoir about her life with her talented late daughter in 2013.
“Cissy is a wonderful, wonderful woman,” he says. “I hope that the Lord will grant her the peace that she needs at this time.”
