The entertainment industry is in mourning after award-winning music legend Whitney Houston was found dead in a Los Angeles hotel room on the eve of the Grammys.
The news was first announced by her publicist Kristen Foster but the cause of star's death is currently unclear.
Lieutenant Mark Rosen from Beverly Hills Police told KABC-TV that Houston was pronounced dead in her room on the fourth floor of the Beverly Hilton hotel at 3.55pm (local time) on Saturday afternoon.
It is thought she was found by her bodyguard and could not be resuscitated.
"She has been positively identified by friends and family that were with her at the hotel, and next of kin have already been notified," Lieutenant Rosen told reporters.
The death is not being treated as suspicious but the cause is being investigated.
