Washington, Sep 28 : Courtney Love has revealed that Johnny Depp once saved her life by giving her CPR.

Love, who has a history of drink and drug abuse, had collapsed after a heavy session, and was given the kiss of life from the ''Pirates of the Caribbean'' star.

"Nobody has ever loaned me money. I mean, I was going to die on a few occasions. Johnny Depp gave me CPR on one. That''s as close as I ever got. I was watching that movie where he plays Dillinger, and I was like ''Mother f***er, I never had myself any JD except CPR,''" Contactmusic quoted the hole singer as saying.

The widow of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain also revealed that strangers gave her money following her financial difficulties earlier this year.

She and her 17-year-old daughter Frances Bean are currently staying at a New York hotel, and waiting for work on a nearby apartment to complete.

And the singer said that they''ve been treated like royalty at the hotel. (ANI)
