(CBS/AP) Amy Winehouse didn't have a will when she died last year, and according to documents, the singer's fortune will go to her parents.

The British songstress left behind an estate worth 2.94 million pounds ($4.66 million). Probate documents show Winehouse 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.

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 struggled for years with drug and alcohol abuse. The 27-year-old soul diva was found dead in bed on July 23, 2011, at her London home. An inquest found she died of accidental alcohol poisoning.

The Grammy winner left behind never-before-released music, which turned up on the album, "Lioness: Hidden Treasures, in December.

I heard before her death it was 20 million. But of course we have already heard about this, and isn't this a given anyway? Where is the big news here?
