Brandy performs a special concert for radio station Wired 965 contest winners at Aloft, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - 141108

The singer walked away from the California freeway collision, but 38-year-old Awatef Aboudihaj died from her injuries.

Brandy admits she spent months reliving the crash, crying herself to sleep - but she refused to let daughter Sy'rai see mummy upset.

She tells Us magazine, "It was a very tough time, and I still have never talked about it with Sy'rai.

"I had to be a mother and stay strong for her. I'd cry when she'd go to sleep so she wouldn't see me like that - I had a responsibility to her."

The star was never charged with any wrongdoing in the crash, but Aboudijah's family are pursuing a civil action against the star.
