Whitney Houston death mourned by celebrities and fans on Twitter
The sudden death of Whitney Houston at the age of 48 on Saturday from unknown causes sent shock waves of grief through her fans and fellow celebrities. Whitney Houston died Saturday afternoon
at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. An official cause of death is not yet
known, but rumors are already swirling that her death may have been
related to her past history of drug and alcohol abuse.
Whitney Houston was declared dead at 3:55 p.m. on Saturday after
being found unconscious in her room at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
Emergency personnel responded to a 911 call placed to the Beverly Hills
police department shortly after 3:30 p.m. and arrived at the hotel
within just a few minutes. Sadly, they were already too late and were
unable to save Houston.
Friends, fellow celebrities and fans of Whitney Houston reacted in shock to the news of the “Waiting to Exhale” star’s death. Mariah Carey perhaps summed up everyone’s reaction best in her emotional post to Twitter about the singer’s death.
“Heartbroken and in tears over the shocking death of my friend, the
incomparable Ms. Whitney Houston” Carey Tweeted. “My heartfelt
condolences to Whitney’s family and to all her millions of fans
throughout the world. She will never be forgotten as one of the greatest
voices to ever grace the earth.
“Whitney is a legend, and that’s how I will remember her,” comedian Wanda Sykes
posted on her Twitter feed on hearing the news of Houston’s death.
“Prayers for her daughter, her mother, and her family. Rest in peace,
Ms. Houston.”
“Shocked we’ve lost the immensely talented Whitney Houston,” iconic Latin singer Gloria Estefan posted on Twitter. “Sending prayers of peace & solace 2 her family, friends & fans! Such a loss!”
Whitney Houston, who was known for her talent as an actress as well
as a multi-platinum, Grammy-Award winning singer, had reportedly just
wrapped filming on a new movie, “Sparkle.” Houston was at the Beverly
Hilton Hotel to attend a party by music mogul Clive Davis Saturday night.
Those who had seen Houston recently said she appeared to be well,
despite her long history of battles with drugs, alcohol and mysterious
illnesses. “Recently interviewed Whitney Houston on set of ‘Sparkle,” Shaun Robinson, a correspondent for “Access Hollywood,” posted on Twitter. “She looked very happy and healthy. #unbelievable”
“Just heard the news. So crazy,” Justin Bieber Tweeted. “One of the GREATEST VOICES EVER just passed. RIP Whitney Houston. My prayers go out to her friends and family.
Katy Perry, also posting on her Twitter feed,
succinctly expressed the sentiment all of us no doubt felt on hearing of
Whitney Houston’s death far too young. “So devastating. We will always
love you Whitney, R.I.P.”
Legendary pop superstar Whitney Houston is dead at the
age of 48. No, this not another celebrity death hoax. Pop music queen
Whitney Houston died on Saturday, her publicist announced in a press
statement. In the most recent reports, Houston was reportedly found dead
by a friend at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. No other information regarding
the singer’s death has so far been released.
Whitney Houston publicist Kristen Foster announced the death of the
Grammy-award winning singer and actress on Saturday afternoon. The
report of the Whitney Houston death has been confirmed by CNN, the
Associated Press and other major news outlets. Sadly, unlike false
rumors of Whitney Houston’s death back in September, this time the news
is terribly true.
Once worshipped as one of
the biggest musical superstars in the world, Whitney Houston won 6
Grammy Awards, 2 Emmy Awards, 30 Billboard Music Awards and 22 American
Music Awards. The “Greatest Love of All” singer was one of the
best-selling musical artists on the planet, selling over 170 million
albums worldwide. She was also known for her acting in films such as
“Waiting to Exhale” and “The Preacher’s Wife.”
“The biggest devil is me. I’m either my best friend or my worst enemy,” Houston told ABC’s Diane Sawyer in 2002 with ex-husband Bobby Brown
at her side. Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown divorced after 14 years
together in 2006. Many fans blamed Brown for contributing to and
enabling Houston’s drug abuse.
Still, even after everything she had battled with, Whitney Houston
kept attempting to crawl back out of the dark into the light. With her
2009 album “I Look To You,” it seemed that perhaps the former music
sensation was finally coming back into her own. Sadly, the positive buzz
did not last very long after a concert to promote the album on “Good
Morning America” went terribly bad. There was no denying, in watching
her struggle for notes and waver wildly off pitch, that Houston’s voice
would never be the same after too many years of abusing her body.
A world tour launched overseas also failed to find success, with some
fans booing Houston and walking out. A number of concert dates were
cancelled and rumors of drug use resurfaced, but Houston’s reps claimed
the cancellations were due to illness.
Although Houston attended rehab multiple times and, in 2010, swore to
Oprah Winfrey that she was clean and sober. However, her attempts to
recover and relaunch her career continued to be largely
unsuccessful. Whitney Houston’s once golden voice, ruined by drug use,
was a raspy, strained imitation of her former glory. Still, she never
seemed to totally give up and continued to struggle to find herself and
reclaim some small portion of her former glory, just recently wrapping
filming on a new movie.
Whitney Houston is survived by her daughter with Bobby Brown, Bobbi Kristina Houston Brown.
