"The Houston estate asked if I would share this tribute that I put together for Bobbi Kristina's private funeral," Perry wrote on Facebook. "On behalf of the Brown and Houston families, we would all like to thank you for your prayers and support. God bless."
The heartfelt, three-and-a-half minute clip, titled "A Celebration of Our Princess," starts with "a few words from Krissi."
