   Oprah talks to Whitney Houston's family for first interview since singer's death

For the first time since her mother's death, Bobbi Kristina opens up for the camera. With her, so do Whitney Houston's closest family members, her sister in law and her brother – for an Oprah special that will air this month.

As we also reported over the weekend, the special has been taped for Oprah's Next Chapter, and will air on March 11 at 9 p.m.

It marks the first time the Houston family, Bobbi Kristina included, talk about the tragic loss they suffered only a few weeks ago, when Whitney was found dead in her hotel room.

The video below is the first preview released for the special and, while it doesn't actually offer much, at least it promises that Oprah will do her best to present viewers at home with an idea of what the family has been going through since Whitney's death.

She also asks the question that's been on almost every fan's mind, that of how the family felt (and feels) about Bobby Brown, Whitney's ex, whom many believe somehow responsible for her death because he was the one who introduced her to hard drugs.

The preview also confirms that Bobby Kristina will also get her chance to tell her side of the story.

Those who have been keeping up with reports about her condition must know that she's believed to have turned to drugs and alcohol to cope with her loss.

The family is reportedly trying to get her to rehab, thinking she might end up like her mother, fighting severe addiction.

These are all the details available for now about the Oprah special.

Chances are that it will also include a statement of sorts on part of the family on how they stand as regards the comments made by the Brown family in a recent interview.

Leola Brown recently told reporters that she knew for a fact (emphasis ours) that Whitney's death had not been an accident.

She would not name any names, but she did stress that her brother Bobby has zero responsibility in it, as we also noted at the time.
