Bobby Brown said he is struggling to cope with the death of his daughter.

The day after Bobbi Kristina Brown died at the age of 22, her father said that he is "completely numb."

"Krissy was and is an angel," Brown said in a statement to ABC News. "My family must find a way to live with her in spirit and honor her memory. Our loss is unimaginable. We thank everyone for the prayers for Krissy and our family as we mourn my baby girl."

Added Christopher Brown, a lawyer for the Brown: "Yesterday Bobbi Kristina Brown took her place in heaven. Krissy fought to get well for months, however she has succumb to her injuries."

Bobbi Kristina, whose mother was the late Whitney Houston, was hospitalized on Jan. 31 after she was found unresponsive in a bathtub in her Georgia home. She was moved to a rehab facility in March, and in April, her maternal grandmother, Cissy Houston, told People magazine that Bobbi Kristina had "global and irreversible brain damage." In June, the aspiring actress and singer was transferred to hospice.

"Despite the great medical care at numerous facilities, Bobbi Kristina Brown's condition has continued to deteriorate," Pat Houston, Bobbi Kristina's aunt, said in a statement at the time. "She is in God's hands now."

According to the Fulton County medical examiner, an initial portion of the autopsy has been completed, though it did not show an obvious underlying cause of death. A representative for Fulton County district attorney's office added that there is an ongoing investigation into what happened.

Meanwhile, her family is still trying to grapple with the loss.

"She is finally at peace in the arms of God," the Houston family said in a statement last night. "We want to again thank everyone for their tremendous amount of love and support during these last few months."
