Bobby Brown's life has been one touched by tragedy and the heartbreaking loss of loved ones.
It was reported in the early hours of this morning that his 28-year-old son, Bobby Brown Jnr, was found dead at his home.
TMZ reports that a cause of death is yet to be established, but foul play is not suspected as police remain at the scene to continue their investigation.
The sad news comes just five years after Bobby's daughter and Bobby Jnr's half-sister Bobbi Kristina was discovered dead in her bathtub at her Georgia home in 2015.
She was aged just 22 when she died, a coroner ruling that she'd drowned after being found to have toxic levels of alcohol and cocaine in her system.
And Bobbi's ex-fiance, Nick Gordon, died on New Year's Day earlier this year.
An autopsy report determined the cause of death as a heroin overdose, Maitland Police Department telling that Nick had snorted a line of the drug and knocked back shots of tequila in the final hours before his death.
Three years earlier from Bobbi's death,in 2012, her mum Whitney Houston died from an accidental overdose while bathing in a Beverley Hilton Hotel.
Whitney and Bobby Snr had wed in 1992, but split in 2007.
When she was found, Whitney was face down in the tub, her face covered in scars, injuries and marks.
Her official cause of death was listed as accidental drowning, contributed to by heart disease and cocaine use.
Bobby and Whitney met in the late 80s, both attending the Soul Train Awards.
Shortly after, Whitney invited him to her 26th birthday and soon became an item.
Three years down the line, they tied the knot at Whitney's New Jersey mansion - the day marked by drug abuse and boozy binges.
In his 2017 book Every Little Step, Bobby claimed he saw Whitney taking cocaine on their big day.
He writes that he was "shocked" to see her "hunched over a bureau snorting a line of coke."
Bobby has been open about his own drug use during his relationship with Whitney, but has been adamant he had nothing to do with her addiction issues.
"I smoked weed, I drank the beer, but no, I wasn't the one that got Whitney on drugs at all," he writes.
"It's just unexplainable how one could, you know, [claim that I] got her addicted to drugs."
