Whitney Houston’s Friend Kim Burrell Tells In Detail How She Missed Meeting Her Before Death [VIDEO]

Good friend and spiritual advisor of Whitney Houston, singer Kim Burrell interviews on the EXTRA! show about how she had just missed meeting with Whitney Houston at Clive Davis’ annual pre-Grammy party at the Beverly Hilton last week before finding out that Whitney had passed.

She stated she sat Bobby Kristina down and tried to calm her down:

“I said, ‘Bobbi Kris, calm yourself. Pull your mind in… relax.’ [Bobbi Kristina replied], ‘I can’t… I can’t. It’s my mom down there.’ She kept saying, ‘My mommy’s dead.’”

Gospel’s Kim Burrell Recounts Her Longtime Friendship with Whitney Houston [VIDEOS]

We found it very interesting the friendship gospel singer, Pastor Kim Burrell and singer Whitney Houston had with each other. We did not know but they had a 13 year friendship and Kim Burrell was her best friend and prayer partner.

Nearly two years ago, we saw a video of Kim Burrell singing to Whitney in the audience. This was the year that Whitney Houston was snubbed at the award shows. It was as if people did not honor her comeback, but friend Kim wanted her to know that she was loved and appreciated and even if her voice was not the same, she still made an impact on the world and to Kim.
