TMZ is reporting that Whitney Houston's daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown, 18, has been rushed to Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. It's her second trip to the hospital since Houston's death Saturday.

The celebrity website said Bobbi Kristina was taken out of the Beverly Hilton on a stretcher. The hotel is where Houston died Saturday afternoon.

TMZ reported that Bobbi Kristina went to the hospital Saturday night as well, but was not transported via ambulance. The website reported she was "hysterical, exhausted and inconsolable."

Bobbi Kristina is Whitney's only child from entertainer Bobby Brown. Houston and Brown were married in 1992 and divorced in 2007.

Earlier Sunday TMZ also reported that Houston was found submerged in the bathtub of the Beverly Hilton hotel Saturday.

The website said her stylist and hairdresser and two bodyguards were among people in the room.

"We're told they became worried about Whitney because she had been in the bathroom for over an hour and it was time to start getting ready for the Clive Davis party," TMZ reported. "Our sources say they began to knock on the door and there was no answer. We're told the hairdresser, who is female, went in to check on Whitney. She immediately screamed and, according to our sources, one of the bodyguards came running in and pulled her out of the tub."

TMZ reported that Houston's face was below the water and her legs were up as though she had slid down the back of the tub.

Paramedics arrived shortly thereafter, and Whitney was pronounced dead at 3:55 p.m., according to TMZ.
