Selena Gomez needed an emergency kidney transplant in 2017. Actress Francia Raísa stepped in.

The singer had previously been diagnosed with the autoimmune disease lupus, which then caused complications for her kidneys. Where Gomez was on the donor list, she later shared, would have had a seven- to 10-year wait, and she was going to have to be put on dialysis. 

Gomez's roommate and close friend actress Francia Raísa stepped in and donated her kidney to Gomez. The two later shared the emotional story. 

"She lived with me in this interesting time where my kidneys were just done. That was it and I didn't want to ask a single person in my life," Gomez told the "Today Show." "The thought of asking somebody to do that was really difficult for me. And she volunteered and did it… The fact that she was a match, I mean, that's unbelievable."

Sarah Hyland has had two kidney transplants.

CNN reported that the "Modern Family" star's father gave her the first kidney after Hyland was diagnosed with kidney dysplasia, which causes the kidneys to not develop properly. In 2017, the donor kidney had to be removed and replaced because Hyland's body was rejecting it. Her younger brother Ian donated the second kidney.

Hyland has opened up about how the surgery affected her — "For a long time, I was contemplating suicide because I didn't want to fail my little brother like I failed my dad," Hyland told SELF.

She has recovered from the surgery and is on immunosuppressants.
