<p>On Saturday, the Associated Press reported that music legend Whitney Houston was dead at 48. Her publicist Kristen Foster informed the news agency that that the singer had died, but the cause and the location of her death were unknown at the time. </p>

<p><a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2012/02/whitney-houston-died-beverly-hills.html">The Los Angeles Times</a> reports that the singer died in her room on the fourth floor at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills and that a cause of death is still unknown. <a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2012/02/whitney-houston-death-cpr.html">They also report</a> that she was declared dead at around 4 p.m. (Pacific Time) after medics performed CPR on her for 20 minutes. They were called to her room around 3:30 p.m.  </p>

<p>Outside of the hotel, Beverly Hills police Lt. Mark Rosen told the press, "There were no obvious signs of any criminal intent at this time." </p>

<p>As news of her sad and untimely passing spread online, shell-shocked celebrities turned to their social media pages &mdash; namely on Twitter &mdash; to send their condolences and express their outright sadness. </p>

<p><strong><big>MORE REACTIONS</big></strong></p>

<p>Conventional statements from notables also were released. "I am absolutely heartbroken at the news of Whitney's passing," music producer <strong>Quincy Jones</strong> said in a written statement. "I always regretted not having had the opportunity to work with her. She was a true original and a talent beyond compare. I will miss her terribly."</p>

<p>Houston's godmother, <strong>Aretha Franklin</strong>, was distraught. "I just can't talk about it now," she said in her statement. "It's so stunning and unbelievable. I couldn't believe what I was reading coming across the TV screen."</p>

<p>In his statement, the <strong>Rev. Al Sharpton</strong> said he would call for a national prayer Sunday<br />
morning during a service at Second Baptist Church in Los Angeles. "The morning of the Grammys, the world should pause and pray for the memory of a gifted songbird." </p>

<p>Singer <strong>Bettye LaVette,</strong> who resurrected her own career about 10 years ago after a period of relative dormancy, said she thought that Houston had the talent and teaching -- Houston's mother, LaVette said, was one of the greatest gospel singers ever -- that could have giver her at least a second act.</p>

<p>"I thought that she had a better chance than almost all because her voice was so strong," LaVette said last night. "She had a great commercial appeal and I was hoping that she was kind of going into another phase and work on being an older singer. ... I was really interested in hearing what kind of singer she was going to become."</p>

<p>"I am in utter shock over the loss of my friend and colleague Whitney Houston," said singer <strong>Marc Anthony </strong>in his statement. "We should all feel blessed to have experienced the voice of an angel.  I will always cherish the times I got to share the stage with you.  My thoughts and prayers to  Bobbi Kristina and family. Gone way too soon!" </p>

<p>According to the IMDB, Houston will appear in the film "Sparkle" alongside Jordin Sparks of "American Idol." Set to be released this summer, it's described on the site as: "Three sisters form a successful singing group and must deal with the fallout of fame and drugs." </p>
