From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

Tributes have come pouring in for Bobbi Kristina Brown, daughter of the late singer Whitney Houston, who has died aged 22.

The Houston family confirmed the death in a statement from their representatives, saying she was surrounded by her family at the time and was “finally at peace in the arms of God.”

Brown was found unresponsive in a bathtub in January and rushed to hospital. She was placed in a medically induced coma but never regained consciousness.

Since her death was announced, celebrities from the world of music, film, and television paid their respects, including Oprah Winfrey, P Diddy, Missy Elliot and Kylie Jenner.

Brown was moved to a hospice last month following the deterioration of her health, but there were conflicting reports on her well-being from members of her family.

There was also the matter of an outstanding lawsuit filed against Brown’s then-boyfriend, Nick Gordon, who was accused of causing life-threatening injuries and attempting to steal from Brown’s bank account while she lay in a coma.
