Selena Gomez has showered praise on her 'best friend' Francia Raisa for donating a life-saving kidney to her in 2017.
Their bond has had its ups and downs, including a vicious feud last year after Selena named Taylor Swift as her 'only friend in the industry.'
But in a possible signal that they have mended fences, Selena, 30, waxed rhapsodic about Francia on a new episode of the Apple TV+ series Dear....
'I will never, ever, ever be more in debt to a person than Francia,' said Selena, who needed the transplant because of her battle with lupus. 'The idea of someone not even second-guessing to be a donor was unbelievably overwhelming.'
She announced the transplant on Instagram in 2017 with a heartwarming snap of her and Francia holding hands as they lay in side-by-side hospital beds.

During the new episode of Dear..., Selena revealed that Francia herself insisted on getting tested to see if she was able to donate her kidney.
'So within three days she went to go do it and she was a match, and it was one of those moments where I felt watched over,' Selena recalled.
'I know I was so, so, so lucky,' she acknowledged. 'I understand that that doesn’t happen for a lot of people and I know the outcome of some of those situations and how serious they are. So I do not take it lightly that it’s happened to me that way.'
