Amy Winehouse’s parents, Mitch and Janis Winehouse along with Amy’s brother Alex and her former fiancé Reg Traviss greeted the many fans that stood outside of Amy’s London home where the singer was found dead on Saturday.

Her parents read the touching sentiments left by fans and talked with fans and thanked them:

“I can’t tell you what this means to us. It really is making this a lot easier for us,” he told the gathered mourners. “Amy was about one thing and that was love. Her whole life was devoted to her family and her friends and to you guys as well.”

“Thank you for coming,” he told the fans. “It means so much to me and my family.”

An autopsy is scheduled for today. TMZ is reporting that a friend and rep for Amy, Chris Goodman said Amy died in her bed alone:

“She was in her bedroom after saying she wanted to sleep and when he went to wake her he found she wasn’t breathing.”

Goodman continued, “He called the emergency services straight away. He was very shocked. At this stage no one knows how she died. She died alone in bed.”

It breaks my heart to think of her dying alone and also to see her parents grieving for their daughter. But one thing is for certain, they are feeling a lot of love from Amy’s fans and hopefully that will help them through this terrible time.

Our sincere condolences to Amy Winehouse’s family and friends.
