Friends until the end: Whitney Houston joined pal Kelly Price on stage in Hollywood Thursday night for the last song of her life

Kelly Price didn't realise that her dear friend Whitney Houston would be singing her last ever song when the diva joined her on stage on Thursday night - just two days before her untimely death.
Houston, who died on Saturday at the age of 48, gave an impromptu performance at the Kelly Price & Friends Unplugged: For The Love of R&B fete at Tru Hollywood earlier this week.
Houston was not expected to perform at the event, but was captured on camera as she sang the song Yes, Jesus Loves Me.

Before the duet, 38-year-old Price was caught on video discussing how Houston had influenced her career with the audience.
She said: '[Whitney] pushed me to sing to my limit' before addressing the recently deceased songbird directly. 'You are a class act, you are an icon', she added.

Embrace: Price couldn't resist giving her pal a tight hug on stage at Tru

Price, 38, was overcome with emotion when the iconic then joined her on stage. They shared a tight embrace before Houston began belting out the soulful tune.
She managed to get through the performance successfully, though it has been reported that she was acting erratically in the days leading up to her death.
Though she was meant to attend Clive Davis' pre-Grammy bash at the Beverly Hilton Hotel last night, she was found dead in the same hotel yesterday afternoon.
Though an emergency crew tried to resuscitate her in her room, she was pronounced dead at 3:55pm.
Price, who attended tonight's awards ceremony, broke down on the red carpet while discussing Houston's final performance.

She said: 'I was having a pre-Grammy party for the nominations [sic].
'I invited Whitney to come...
'We had a great time Thursday night. She came out. We hung out. We danced...
'I wasn't expecting her to sing….She just walked up on the stage. We embraced each other and she said: "Give me the mike..."'
Price added: 'Singing with Whitney has always been to me just an honour.'

The artist also talked about the moment she found out her friend was dead.
She said: 'In my heart I was praying it was an internet hoax…and to realise it wasn't I just don't know how to explain it.'
Countless other musicians and celebrities have come out tonight to celebrate the diva's life.
Jennifer Hudson will sing a medley of Houston's favourite hits in her honour.
One person who wasn't at tonight's ceremony was Houston's daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown.

The 18-year-old was rushed to the hospital once last night and again this morning.
According to TMZ.com, her family members fear that she is suicidal.
The site has been told that she was 'hysterical, exhausted and inconsolable' and that 'the family believes she might try and take her own life.'
Her loved ones are reportedly considering rehab as an option.
She got into an altercation with police officers last night when she wasn't allowed to see her mother's body.
