AceShowbiz - Bobby Brown is set to be saluted by city officials in Atlanta, Georgia over plans to build a domestic violence shelter in memory of his tragic daughter.
Bobbi Kristina Brown, the singer's only child with his late ex-wife Whitney Houston, died in July, 2015, six months after she was found unconscious in a bathtub at the Alpharetta, Georgia home she shared with her boyfriend, Nick Gordon.
Coroners ruled the 22-year-old died from a combination of drugs and drowning, but in a wrongful death lawsuit filed against Gordon after the tragedy, Bobbi Kristina's father teamed up with her court-appointed estate executor and accused him of abusing the aspiring actress prior to her passing, claiming he had given her a "toxic cocktail" of substances, which made her lose consciousness as she bathed.
Gordon has always maintained his innocence, but in 2016, he was found civilly liable for Bobbi Kristina's death, and was ordered to hand over $36 million (£27.3 million) in damages.
Last year (17), her father Bobby founded the Bobbi Kristina Brown Serenity House non-profit organisation to offer help and support to domestic violence victims, and on Monday, July 30, he and his manager wife, Alicia Etheredge, will receive a proclamation from the City of South Fulton Mayor Bill Edwards and other local officials acknowledging their plans to establish the charity's first physical building for abuse sufferers in Atlanta.
"Our family lives with the pain everyday of losing my beautiful daughter, Bobbi Kristina, to domestic violence," the My Prerogative hitmaker shared in a statement released just before the third anniversary of her death.
"She loved Atlanta and in her memory we are proud to announce the formation of the Bobbi Kristina Serenity House. Our initial goal is to help educate women and men of all ages, by creating a 24-hour crisis intervention line and emergency transitional shelter."
