"She's always with me. I can always feel her," said Bobbi, who is currently living in Whitney's Georgia home.
Oprah also spoke to Whitney's sister-in-law, former manager and close friend, Patricia Houston, who revealed that she began fearing for the Grammy winner in the late '90s, years before Whitney's 2002 interview with Diane Sawyer in which she admitted to abusing drugs.
Patricia explained that in Whitney's latter days the singer appeared to have her addictions under control, but Patricia became concerned again two days prior to Whitney's death while at a party in Hollywood.
"There were words back and forth between [Whitney] and a young lady, who I believe was on The X Factor," Patricia said, referring to Stacy Francis. "I don't know what the initial conversation was. I just know it didn't feel right."
This confrontation led Patricia to usher Whitney out of the nightclub.
After the singer's passing Stacy tweeted, "I deeply regret the events that led to Thursday's misunderstanding, but I respect and love [Whitney] more than I can say."
