Ensa was a strong supporter of her father during his legal trials for alleged sexual assault.
She released a statement last year that said: "My father has been publicly lynched in the media and my family, my young daughter, my young niece and nephew have had to stand helplessly by and watch the double standard or pretending to protect the rights of some but ignoring the rights of others.
"I strongly believe my father is innocent of the crimes alleged against him."
Ensa once appeared alongside her father in The Cosby Show in 1989, when she appeared as a girl at a party in a season six episode.
She was one of five children born to Bill and Camille Cosby. The couple’s only son, Ennis, was killed during an attempted robbery in Los Angeles in 1997.
