Kevin Costner is praying for Bobbi Kristina Brown's recovery.

Three years after the 60-year-old actor gave a touching eulogy at the funeral of his Bodyguard co-star and longtime friend Whitney Houston, Costner says he hopes Bobbi Kristina's fate isn't as tragic as her mother's.

"My thoughts are probably similar to everyone, which is, obviously, the similarities, what's going on, the worry that this might have happened again," he told Nightline this week. "Where is this little girl going to go when you lose your mother?"

"The facts are the facts right now, that she's sitting here, fighting for her life, surrounded by the people who love her the most," Costner went on. "We understand the pressure they're under and I think nobody wants more than her family—and if she could speak for herself—to have a second chance at this most precious life that we are all given."

Costner added, "I hope that God opens her eyes and lets her breathe and lets her brain work, and she gets a second chance."

Bobbi Kristina remains on life support at an Atlanta hospital after she was found unresponsive inside her home nearly two weeks ago. "We continue to request privacy in this matter," her father Bobby Brown said in a statement this week. "We thank everyone that supported the vigil for Bobbi Kristina. God is hearing our prayers."
