Amy Winehouse family defend decision to sell Camden home

Mitch Winehouse has defended his decision to sell his late daughter Amy's Camden home.

The three bedroom property was placed on the market earlier this week at a price of around £.2.7m. However, some fans of the 'Back To Black' star have criticised the sale, saying it is not what Amy would have wanted.

Defending the decision, Amy's Father Mitch wrote on Twitter: "It is with regret that we have to sell Amy's house in Camden Square. It is empty and costing a fortune to secure it. Amy and I both worked on the house and she loved it so much. I hope a lovely family buys it as it is so full of love."

Adding: "Some of you are being stupid. It costs £25,000 per month to keep house and security. That's all I have to say on this matter."

It was previously suggested that the property should serve as the headquarters for the Amy Winehouse foundation, a charity set up in the singer's memory.
