As FOX 11 reported on the legal battle between local nuns and Katy Perry over a Los Feliz convent, we learned that one of the nuns involved in the case collapsed and died Friday during a court proceeding related to the case.

Businesswoman Dana Hollister, who according to the Los Angeles Times, was known for purchasing property in the Silver Lake area next door since the 1990s, allegedly interfered with the transaction by attempting to preemptively purchase the house from two nuns. Perry had offered $14.5 million for the property.

The singer's deal was scuppered by the move.

A nun suing singer Katy Perry over a real estate dispute collapsed and died suddenly in court Friday afternoon.

"Perry was a very lovely person but her offer is not as good as Dana's". That order of nuns owned a large hilltop property that used to be a convent.

'You have stolen the property of the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart. Please archbishop. Do what is right in your heart, ' Callahan begged in the televised interview just before her friend's death.

"We asked her to save us, to buy the property". 'She had nothing to do with forcing herself on us'.

Hollister had listed her net worth on a loan application at around $16 million in 2014.

Manulife Financial Corporation (MFC ) stock price is moving downswing along with the volume 2.73 million shares in recent session. The stock of Manulife Financial Corporation (NYSE: MFC ) earned "Outperform" rating by RBC Capital Markets on Friday, August 7.

The case has been put on hold following the nun's death, although they had previously appealed to Pope Francis directly to give them their convent back.

The "Firework" singer a year ago won a legal battle against two nuns and restaurateur Dana Hollister.

A jury ruled in Katy and the Archdiocese's favor previous year and Hollister was ordered to pay $15 million in damages.

The jury deliberated for an entire day on November 17 before reaching its verdict against Hollister for slander of title, interference with contractual relations and interference with prospective economic advantage.

Katy Perry, meanwhile, is busily promoting ABC's reboot of the singing competition American Idol, on which she is a judge.

She was 89 years old.

However a crackdown by the archdiocese followed.
