And he revealed how it was on the instruction of his ex wife Whitney Houston who he says came to him in his dreams.
Describing tragic Bobbi Kristina as a "vegetable", he told how she never came out of a coma after being found unresponsive at her Atlanta Home in 2015.
Bobby said: "She fought hard. They told me she would not live a normal life.
"I was prepared to care for her for the rest of my life, being a vegetable.

"But my daughter would not like to live like that. She would not want to be like that.
"Also Whitney came to me in dreams and was like 'let my baby go!'.
"And that is what I had to do."
Bobby makes the tearful admission on a new A & E Channel TV docu-series, due to air tonight.

In an exclusive preview of the interview, he said: "Being her father meant everything to me.
"Not just because she looked just like me, or was my blood.
"To know how special she was can only be seen through love. She was definitely loved by me and everybody around her.
"I know that my daughter is with me every day she is one of my angels."

"What I miss most is how goofy she was. She would make me laugh at anything. I miss that gap toothed smile.
"She enjoyed life to the fullest.
"I know that my daughter is with me every day she is one of my angels."
Bobby, who admitted heavy cocaine and even heroin use during his tumultuous marriage to Whitney, turned to the bottle to cope.
He said: "Losing my daughter hurt me to my core. Children are not supposed to go before their parents and I lost my baby girl."
DOUBLE TRAGEDY
Then six years later in 2020, Bobby had to face the loss of a second child - Bobby Jr - or "Little Bobby".
In the emotional documentary the New Edition singer recounts how he found his eldest son collapsed in a heap on the floor following a drug overdose at his LA apartment.
"I went in the house and found him on the floor. That is the worst feeling in the world to find your son unconscious and non responsive.
My son took the wrong drugs."

"They told me my son was deceased. The EMT told me that he had to be dead for a while.
"He died from an overdose of Fentanyl. My son took the wrong drugs.
"There are no right drugs to take, but he was experimenting."
DARK PAST
Bobby has previously detailed his troubled upbringing in which he was molested by a priest.
He said his mother was arrested in front of him and beaten by cops as she tried to break up a fight on their street.
As his dad was out at work, cops left him in the care of a priest, who sexually abused him.
Bobby said: "He [the priest] tried to touch my private parts. There was no penetration or anything.
"He touched my privates and I didn't like that. I punched and kicked and punched some more until he got away from me; so I ran away from there as quickly as possible."
GRAVESIDE VISIT
During the documentary, Bobby also visits Whitney and Bobbi Kristina's grave for the first time.
He adds that the deaths of his children still haunt him - and he believes they visit him in dreams.
"My dreams have always been vivid," he said.
"Lately I have been dreaming about my late son and late daughter.
"They have been coming to me in my dreams. It is like they have been standing right in front of me. And then I wake up and it is time to get back to reality."
