Watch Vivica A. Fox Get Choked Up Talking About Her Friend Whitney Houston

The actress stars in upcoming Bobbi Kristina biopic.

The late Whitney Houston's daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, is getting the biopic treatment more than two years after her death, and Vivica A. Fox is attached to the bill, playing the legendary singer's sister-in-law, Pat Houston.

While doing the promo rounds for the film, she spoke on her relationship with the star before her untimely passing.

"It made me miss her even more," she told the folks at Page Six TV. "There was one scene that I'll never forget — and I'm sorry if I'm getting emotional — where Demetria McKinney, who played Whitney, she did such an amazing job, and there was a scene where we had to relive, basically, her leaving us, and I did go to her funeral and everything so to tap into the emotions for this movie was easy for me because I loved her and we had such a huge amount of respect for her and that's what we want to let everyone know."

Take a look at the full interview, below:

Bobbi Kristina airs on October 8 on TV One.
