A nun involved in a property dispute with singer Katy Perry has collapsed and died during a court hearing. Sister Catherine Rose Holzman was 89.

She was one of two nuns locked in a legal battle with Perry and the Los Angeles Archdiocese over a former convent in the city.

The BBC reports Perry agreed to buy the property for 14.5 million US dollars in 2015, but the deal turned sour when the former residents objected.

Sister Catherine Rose and Sister Rita Callanan said they were uncomfortable handing the convent and its eight surrounding acres over to Katy Perry, whose sometimes provocative hits include I Kissed A Girl and Ur So Gay.
