By Corinne Heller ••
Tyler Perry has released a moving video that pays tribute to Bobbi Kristina Brown, which was shown to her family and friends at her private memorial that he attended last month.
The footage was posted on his Facebook page on Friday and contains a montage of photos of the 22-year-old, as a child and an adult, including some with her late mother, Whitney Houston, and father, Bobby Brown, 46.
"The Houston estate asked if I would share this tribute that I put together for Bobbi Kristina's private funeral," Perry wrote. "On behalf of the Brown and Houston families, we would all like to thank you for your prayers and support. God bless."

"I hope you feel my love, pain, beauty, agony at times, blessings all the time," Bobbi Kristina is quoted as saying in the tribute video. "No one understands me. And I don't expect them to, but I will try to spread my love and my story through words and this blessing of a powerful voice mom has given me."
