The Los Angeles Times reported that John and Ken made the comment when talking about reports of Houston's odd behavior before her death Saturday at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. She was 48 and will be buried tomorrow i New Jersey.

It's like, 'Ah Jesus . . . here comes the crack ho again, what's she gonna do? Ah, look at that - she's doin' handstands next to the pool. Very good, crack ho . . . ' After a while, everybody's exhausted. And then you find out she's dead. It's like, 'Really? Took this long?' CBS Los Angeles said the New York Daily News reported.

The Times reported that the two will be back on air on Monday.

Kobylt nited in a statement that, We made a mistake, and we accept the station's decision. We used language that was inappropriate, and we sincerely apologize to our listeners and to the family of Ms. Houston.

Houston died Saturday in Beverly Hills. Officials are waiting for toxicology reports to be completed to determine a cause of death.
