Tyler Perry took to Facebook on Friday to blast rumors surrounding Bobbi Kristina Brown's death.

The 45 year old filmmaker asked the press to show 'some decency and respect' to Bobbi and her family as she continues to remain unresponsive at a hospice care facility in Atlanta.

Perry who has been a friend to Bobbi's mother Whitney Houston, wrote, "This morning I woke up with Whitney on my mind. I couldn't help but think about all that she must have dreamed for her child. I know this was not her dream."

"And as difficult as this time is for the people that love both Whitney and Krissi, what makes it more egregious is the blatant disrespect, lies, and ignorance that are rapidly printed in this awful time."

"For some reason, it has become human nature in our society to look for, seek out, and celebrate darkness, glory in tragedy, and enjoy reading and reporting it," the star of "A Madea Christmas" continued, referring to Bobbi's death rumors circulating on the internet, "It makes me sad to know that everybody wants to be the first to report something awful. So much so, that they find it OK to speak death onto those who are still alive."

Perry specifically asked the media to show some restraint on the issue.

"May I ask you all to please show some decency and respect? Not only to Krissi's family, but also to the other families that are there in this place. Not only is Krissi at the center but there are several other families who are grieving the loss of their loved ones at the same time," he shared.

"It's heartbreaking to think that even in a time like this, this child is still not allowed any peace," the "Good Deeds" actor added, "I assure you, the family will issue an official statement if something changes. Until then, can we just pray for Krissi, and the Houston and Brown families?"
