A legal battle between Katy Perry and a nuns' convent in Los Angeles took a deadly turn Friday, as a nun pleaded to a camera for Perry to stop her effort to buy the convent right before the nun then walked into a court room, collapsed, and died, according to The Washington Post.

"Katy Perry, please stop," Sister Catherine Rose Holzman told Fox 11 Los Angeles before entering the court Friday. "It's not doing anyone any good, except hurting a lot of people."

The ominous comments came in what wound up being her last interview minutes before her death Friday.

The nuns have fought for years to block the sale of their convent to the liberal music star and were appearing in court Friday to support Dana Hollister' bankruptcy proceeding.

Hollister lost a legal dispute with Perry and was ordered to pay $15 million in damages for "malice, oppression, or fraud" in undermining Perry's purchase of the convent from Archdiocese of Los Angeles, which the nuns opposed.
