In what is officially the first big-scale event she attends since Whitney Houston's death earlier this year, daughter Bobbi Kristina held a brief speech at Billboard Awards 2012, thanking fans for their support.

“I really want to say thank you to everyone who supported us through it all. Not just from when it was good but when it was bad, too,” Bobbi Kristina said, as the video above will confirm.

By her side stood Whitney's manager and sister-in-law, Patricia Houston.

Bobbi Kristina also underlined that, out of all the people, her mother deserved the best – and she got it when fans showed their unconditional love and support at all times.

“Thank you for showing that much love, because she deserved it... I'm just blessed to have been in such an incredible woman's life. There will never be another one, ever,” she said.

The Billboard Awards also included a touching tribute to the late diva, with her “Sparkle” co-star Jordin Sparks performing her iconic hit “I Will Always Love You.”
