Whitney Houston sold more than 170 million albums, singles and videos during her career, according to her official website.

 

 

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

• Houston's bodyguard found her body, boyfriend's publicist says
• Police say no obvious signs of criminal intent
• Houston, 48, was set to appear in this year's "Sparkle," a remake of the 1976 hit
• The entertainer had struggled with addiction problems

Los Angeles (CNN) -- Legendary pop singer Whitney Houston was found dead at a Beverly Hills, California, hotel at age 48, officials said Saturday night.

The entertainer, whose incredible talent was discovered at an early age, was pronounced dead at 3:55 p.m. (6:55 p.m. ET) at the Beverly Hilton despite resuscitation efforts, a police spokesman said.

Beverly Hills Police Lt. Mark Rosen said there were "no obvious signs of criminal intent" and that the cause of her death is being investigated.

Houston's bodyguard found her body, said Courtney Barnes, publicist for hip-hop artist Ray J, who was dating the pop diva.

According to her official website, Houston sold more than 170 million albums, singles and videos. But she also struggled with addiction problems over the years.

Houston died on the eve of the 54th annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles.

Houston was set to appear in this year's "Sparkle," a remake of the 1976 hit, which was loosely based on the story of The Supremes. It was her first movie role since 1996's "The Preacher's Wife."

News of her death elicited a flood of reaction on social media, from fans and fellow celebrities alike.

 

Whitney Houston seemed 'in good spirits'

 

Houston's body of work includes seven straight Billboard No. 1 hits in the 1980s, including "Saving All My Love for You," "How Will I Know," "Greatest Love of All," "Where Do Broken Hearts Go," and "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me.)"

 

Billboard put her soundtrack to the movie "The Bodyguard" as one of the top 10 biggest-selling albums of all time. She also starred in the film with Kevin Costner. The soundtrack included the hit,"I Will Always Love You."

The daughter of singer Cissy Houston, Whitney was born on August 9, 1963, in Newark, New Jersey. Famed music producer Clive Davis reportedly spotted Houston 20 years later in a New York nightclub, signing her on the spot, according to her website. Davis steered Houston's career for more than 25 years, also serving as a mentor.

The singer's rendition of the national anthem at the 1991 Super Bowl, days into the first Persian Gulf War, earned raves and cemented her place in the American musical landscape.

After "The Bodyguard," Houston went on to appear in several more films in the 1990s, including "Waiting to Exhale."

In 2000, Houston earned her sixth Grammy for best female R&B performance and, a month later, she was named female artist of the decade at the "Soul Train" Music Awards.

Her career stalled, however, in subsequent years as she entered rehab for addiction problems.

In May 2011, Houston got help for her much-publicized struggle with drugs and alcohol, her representative said at the time.

 

In a 2009 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Houston recalled how her mother arrived one day at her doorstep at her daughter's house with sheriff's officers and a court order in a drug intervention. She talked about doing cocaine and smoking marijuana.

"(My mother) says, 'I have a court (injunction) here," Houston said. "Either you do it my way, or we're just not going to do this at all. We are both going to go on TV, and you're going to retire.'"

Houston had a high-profile and tumultuous marriage to Bobby Brown, a former "New Edition" star who has had multiple brushes with the law. The couple appeared together in the mid-2000s on the reality show "Being Bobby Brown." They had one child together, Bobbi Kristina.

Poor lady. Drugs kill though.

 

Please let this at least let someone else get help.

I am guessing cardiac arrest coz that kills you fast. Also the fact that she do drugs.

This seems so surreal to me, so random. Ironically the day before the Grammy's too . RIP Whitney, you had an awesome career.

I've heard of her, but I can't really recall where I've seen her. RIP Whitney.

D; I can't believe it! I remember listening to her stuff when I was really little! Her music was the type of music you could never forget. RIP, Whitney Houston!

This was the last death I ever expected... R.I.P Whitney, an incredible singer, an icon, and a flat out legend.

Although I've heard a bit about her, I'm sad about her death, right before the Grammy's.

 

We'l miss you Withney.

It's so sad. She was only 48.

 

It hasn't been said how she died yet, but they've said that she was found in the bathtub in her hotel room. So it could be drug related or she could have just slipped and hit her head.

 

She was an amazing singer. I'm not sure if anyone could sing like her.

tutti frutti. For those that haven't heard of her, she is an amazing American singer. Try google if you need more information on her. Here is a clip.
