Global superstar Selena Gomez turned to Instagram to reveal the news that she is recovering from a recent kidney transplant operation. The singer also shared that the donor was her longtime friend, actress Francia Raisa, best known for the film "The Secret Life of the American Teenager."

The 25-year-old shared a touching photo of the friends lying side by side in the hospital following the surgery, commenting: "I'm very aware some of my fans had noticed I was laying low for part of the summer and questioning why I wasn't promoting my new music, which I was extremely proud of. So I found out I needed to get a kidney transplant due to my Lupus and was recovering. It was what I needed to do for my overall health."

Of her good friend Raisa, Gomez shared, "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."
