TMZ reports that Houston's body is being flown back east in the private jet of director Tyler Perry, who offered the use of the plane to the family after scrambling to the Beverly Hilton upon hearing of the singer's death.
Houston was pronounced dead at 3:55 Saturday afternoon, after emergency responders were unable to revive the singer, who was unconscious and unresponsive when they arrived. A spokesperson for the Beverly Hills Police Department confirmed that a member of Houston's personal staff found the singer submerged in the bathtub of her room at the Beverly Hilton, and was pulled from the tub by one or more of her staff members.
