Selena Gomez has finally opened up about her kidney transplant. In an interview with NBC News, Gomez revealed that it had gotten to the point where it was "kind of life or death," before her friend Francia Raisa agreed to donate a kidney to her. Gomez said that Raisa, who is also an actress, saved her life. She said, "My kidneys were just done. That was it and I didn't want to ask a single person in my life. And she volunteered and did it." Gomez received the kidney transplant due to her battle with lupus. The superstar wrote on Instagram at the time: "there aren?t words to describe how I can possibly thank my beautiful friend Francia Raisa. She gave me the ultimate gift and sacrifice by donating her kidney to me. I am incredibly blessed. I love you so much sis."
