Records show Amy Winehouse left an estate worth 2.94 million pounds ($4.66 million)) after her death last year.

The 27-year-old soul diva was found dead in bed on July 23 at her London home.

Probate documents showed Wednesday that she left behind assets totaling more than 4.25 million pounds ($6.7 million), with 2.94 million pounds ($4.66 million) remaining after debts and taxes.

Since Winehouse did not leave a will, the money will go to her parents. The documents list father Mitch Winehouse as administrator of the singer’s estate. Nothing goes to her ex-husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, whom she divorced in 2009.

Winehouse shot to fame with her 2006 album ``Back to Black,‘’ but struggled for years with drug and alcohol abuse. An inquest found she died of accidental alcohol poisoning. (AP)
