ATLANTA - Bobbi Kristina Brown's boyfriend has declined the chance to visit her in the hospital, Bobby Brown's attorney said.

In a statement released Saturday, Christopher Brown, Bobby's Brown attorney, blasted media reports of Bobbi Kristina Brown, saying, "The numerous fictional reporting involving Bobbi Kristina continues and Bobby Brown's request for privacy clearly has not been heard by all members of the media. Unfortunately, sensationalism remains high as various news affiliates appear determined to undermine the criminal investigation with its erroneous reporting."

Bobbi Kristina Brown, the 21-year-old daughter of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, was found unresponsive in a tub at her Roswell home on Jan. 31. She is in a medically-induced coma at Emory University Hospital.

Nick Gordon, Bobbi Kristina's boyfriend, issued a statement through his attorney on Wednesday saying that he isn't visiting her in the hospital to avoid confrontation with her family.

In response, Christopher Brown said, "To address the continued and never ending media requests for comment about Mr. Gordon's requests to visit Bobbi Kristina, let me be very clear, Mr. Gordon was offered an opportunity to potentially visit Bobbi Kristina and he declined to meet the terms of any possible visit. We are only concerned with individuals that can help Bobbi Kristina and bring resolution to this investigation. Obviously Mr. Gordon is not as desperate to visit Bobbi Kristina as he wants the world to believe."

The statement quotes Bobby Brown as saying, "We continue to request privacy in this matter. We thank everyone that supports Bobbi Kristina and God is hearing our prayers."
