Selena Gomez Breaks Down As She Dedicates Her Billboard Award To BFF For Life-Saving Transplant

Selena Gomez pays an emotional tribute to her best friend and kidney donor Francia Raisa for the life saving transplant. While accepting Billboard's 2017 Woman of the Year award, the pop diva burst into tears and dedicated it to her best friend. 

Breaking down in tears, the 'Wolves' singer said, "I think Francia should be getting this award. She saved my life. I feel incredibly lucky."

Gomez added, "Honestly, I couldn't be more grateful for the position that I've been given in my career from 7 to 14 to now. I want people to know that I respect the platform that I have so deeply because I knew that I wanted to be a part of something great, I wanted people to feel great."

The singer also noted that she had some "really hard times" following her surgery over the summer.

"I feel like for me, with my music, I've been able to illustrate the things that I want. And I'm reminded by a team of people who believe in me even when I don't myself and I couldn't be more luckier," the 'Same old Love' singer shared.

The singing sensation had shocked her fanbase back in September when she revealed that, due to complications in her ongoing battle with lupus, she had received an emergency kidney transplant, with Raisa selflessly stepping up for her best friend.
