Amy Winehouse's boyfriend Reg Traviss has spoken of his grief at the singer's "untimely" death.
The film director yesterday joined Mitch and Janis Winehouse as they visited their daughter's Camden home where she was found dead on Saturday afternoon. Along with Amy's brother Alex, they read some of the many messages of condolence left by fans outside of the North London property.
Speaking to The Sun, Traviss said that the 27-year-old was excited about attending a wedding this weekend and had been trying to choose an outfit.
"Amy kept trying to decide what to wear," he told the paper. "She had laid out her dresses to make up her mind. She was really looking forward to it.
"She has been full of life and so upbeat recently, exercising everyday and doing yoga. This terrible thing that happened is like an accident."

Traviss continued: "The last three days have been hell. We have suffered a terrible untimely loss and want peace now.
"I can't describe what I am going through and I want to thank so much all of the people who have paid their respects and who are mourning the loss of Amy, such a beautiful, brilliant person and my dear love. I have lost my darling who I loved very much."
The Back to Black star's private funeral will take place later today.
