Bobby Brown Jr’s girlfriend paid tribute to him on Twitter on Wednesday hours after he was found dead at his L.A. home.
Bobby, 28, was one of Bobby Brown’s seven children and is the second he has mourned. He was found dead at his Encino apartment on Wednesday at around 1.50pm.
It’s not yet clear how he died but police say no foul play is suspected.
Anna Reed, 22, had been briefly dating the young musician, who was following in his father’s footsteps with his own singing career.
On Wednesday night, she tweeted: ‘The heavens gained an angel but I lost my soul mate’.
Police had rushed to a ‘medical emergency’ at his home in Encino, California, at 1.50pm on Wednesday.
Bobby Jr. is the second child R&B singer Brown has lost after the death of his daughter – with ex-wife Whitney Houston – Bobbi Kristina, who was found unconscious in a bathtub in 2015 at the age of 22.
Bobby Kristina’s ‘adopted brother’, Nick Gordon, with whom she had a controversial relationship before her death, also died in January this year.
Three years before her daughter’s death, Houston drowned in a bathtub after taking cocaine and Xanax.
She and Brown had a tempestuous 15-year marriage that was plagued by drug abuse, violence and infidelity.
Bobby Jr. is one of Brown’s seven children. He has not commented on his son’s death.
Bobby Jr. was Brown’s second child with Kim Ward, with whom he had an 11-year relationship around the same time he was with Houston.
Ward gave birth to Bobby Jr. less than a year before Brown and Houston had their daughter, Bobbi Kristina, in 1993 – their only child together.
