Lydia Forson On 'BET Remembers Whitney Houston'

Ghanaian actress Lydia Forson, via a recorded video message, joined other world stars to pay tribute to Whitney Houston on Black Entertainment Television (BET).

Whitney, 48, was found dead by her bodyguard in a luxury suite at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles last week Saturday. Houston was discovered submerged in the bath. The cause of her death is as yet unknown, with investigators awaiting the results of toxicology tests.

The death of the singer, who inspired a lot of stars, came as a shock to the world, which is still mourning the R&B diva.

Her funeral was held last Saturday and BET recorded special messages by influential figures of world entertainment in her remembrance.

Lydia Forson was the only Ghanaian female celebrity whose voice and video popped up. Claims that three other Ghanaian male stars had their voices and video played on 'BET Remembers Whitney Houston' are yet to be confirmed.

The funeral ceremony was attended by the world's most influential superstars of all time and music directors and producers.

They included Alicia Keys, R Kelly, Beyonce, Jay Z, Mariah Carey, Oprah Winfrey, Tyler Perry and her mentor and former label boss Clive Davis, Stevie Wonder and cousin Dionne Warwick.

BBC reported on Sunday that the family of Whitney Houston was to attend her private burial in Westfield, New Jersey, later.

The late singer was laid to rest beside her father John Russell Houston, who died in 2003, at Fairview Cemetery.
