    Bobby Brown paid tribute to his late daughter on her 24th birthday

    The New Edition singer took to social media to share a number of pictures of Bobbi Kristina Brown, who passed away in July 2015 at the age of 22, six months after she was found unconscious in a bathtub at her home in Atlanta, Georgia.


    Bobby captioned the pictures of his daughter: "TODAY WE CELEBRATE YOU BABY GIRL #BOBBIKRISTINABROWN (sic)."

    He also shared a link to the website for The Bobbi Kristina Serenity House, which has been set up to raise awareness and funds for victims of domestic violence and he wrote: "LOVE YOU I MISS YOU & WITH EVERY BREATH OF EVERYDAY I WILL HONOR YOU HAPPY BIRTHDAY KRISSI (sic)."

    And in a separate post, he wrote: "PLEASE!!!! Visit the new "Bobbi Kristina Serenity House" website and join my family and I as we strive to END Domestic Violence Follow @bobbikristinaserenityhouse www.BobbiKristinaSerenityHouse.org Please Repost and Share - Much Love and Respect....... Bobby (sic)."

    Last year Bobbi's boyfriend Nick Gordon was ordered to pay her family $36 million, after being found legally responsible for her death.

    During the civil trial, the judge heard testimony from Bobbi's famous father, as well as some of her friends, as he assessed the losses and attempted to place a value on the deceased's life.

    He said: "To determine the value of a life is pretty difficult. So the court has been back there primarily struggling with that particular issue."

    The damages awarded in the case - which alleged Bobbi Kristina died due to a violent altercation" with Nick, "after which he placed her in a bathtub, unconscious, after he injected her with a toxic mixture" - included $15 million for present value of life, $13.8 million for pain and suffering as a result of assault, $250,000 in punitive damages, $1.37 million for assault and battery and $1.575 million for money taken from an account, including allegedly stolen rings.

    New Edition singer Bobby - who had Bobbi Kristina with late ex-wife Whitney Houston - said he was pleased with the outcome of the case, but urged prosecutors to press ahead with criminal proceedings.

    He said in a statement: "I am pleased with the outcome of today's court proceedings. I do know that Mr. Gordon will be unable to slander my daughter's name in the future or obtain any benefits from the use of Krissy's name.

    "Finally, I do need for the District Attorney's Office to step up and begin the criminal prosecution of Mr. Gordon. The delay in that matter is of great concern to me and my family. We need for District Attorney Howard to act now."
