Bobbi Kristina Brown's family believe ''she's getting better'' and insist they have no plans to turn off her life support.

The 21-year-old aspiring actress, who was found unresponsive in a bathtub in her Atlanta home on January 31, is reportedly ''progressing'' despite still being in a medically-induced coma at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta.

Speaking at a candlelight prayer vigil in Riverdale, Georgia on Monday night, Bobbi's cousin Shayne Brown said: ''She's getting better. We just ask for people to continue to pray.''

Asked how Bobby, 46, is coping, he also told Entertainment Tonight: ''Uncle's in good spirits. It's just family issues right now. Uncle just wants his privacy. The family wants its privacy.''

The R&B star's lawyer, Christopher Brown, also poured cold water on reports his daughter will be taken off life support on the third anniversary of her mother Whitney Houston's death tomorrow. He added: ''This is a criminal investigation and the integrity of that process requires silence.''

Meanwhile, Shayne and his mother, Tina Brown, also insist their recent physical altercation in a hotel room ''was blown out of proportion.'' Tina, who is Bobby's sister, explained: ''I was upset. You know, I've been dealing with my niece and her being in the hospital. It was just a lot of emotions and I had a drink and I was frustrated and I was trying to make a point and I threw a glass. Unfortunately, it hit my son.''
