Selena Gomez Breaks Her Silence On The Scary Health Condition She's Been Battling

Did you notice that Selena Gomez has been laying low over the past few months? Yep, she knows you know as well and she's finally letting us know why.

In an emotional Instagram post, the "Fetish" singer revealed that she has been in hospital after suffering from kidney failure.

Sel wrote a long emotional caption informing fans on what she had been through.

It reads:

"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. I honestly look forward to sharing with you, soon my journey through these past several months as I have always wanted to do with you. Until then I want to publicly thank my family and incredible team of doctors for everything they have done for me prior to and post-surgery. And finally, 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."

Selena's incredible friend Francia (who stars in Secret Life of an American Teenager) took to Instagram to share her touching journey with Sel.

"I am beyond grateful that God would trust me with something that not only saved a life, but changed mine in the process," she wrote.

"This was part of our story, and we will share it soon, but what is important now is that this is not the only story."

I am beyond grateful that God would trust me with something that not only saved a life, but changed mine in the process.

A deep dive into the star's Insta reveals that the pair have been friends for quite some time.

Francia has posted numerous times about her mems with Sel and describes her as a "sister".

I went through heartbreak this year and you left the studio and drove out of your way to come see me and comfort me. I received good news last month and you facetimed me minutes before you went up on stage just to congratulate me. There are so many moments we have and things you do that I cherish and don't take for granted. Wether its crying, laughing, or simply sitting on my kitchen floor throwing our hands up in the air confused at life, I'm thankful you're always there. I am obsessed with every memory we've built in the last 8 years and the ones we have yet to create. I am so grateful that God put you in my life when he did. If you think about the time that we met and where we were in our lives when we first hung out, his timing was perfect. It's been so inspiring watching you grow and to grow with you. I learn so much from you and I'm so so so proud of you. Happy Birthday Hermana. Love you so so so much @selenagomez

When we first met you gave me a necklace that says "a sister is a forever friend" your support and words this night meant the world to me. I love you sis! My forever friend. Happy 23rd Birthday! 🎉

Happy Birthday Hermanita! Thank you for constantly encouraging and supporting me. We're in this crazy life together. Our story is like no other. #always&forever

All of the feels #revivaltour #family

On behalf of Selenators everywhere, we'd like to thank Francia from the bottom of our hearts for helping our girl out in the best way possible.

Now THAT is friendship goals. <333
