Beleaguered US rocker Courtney Love lost custody Monday of her 17-year-old daughter Frances Bean, child of the late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, court documents showed.
A Los Angeles judge passed custody of the girl to her grandmother and aunt -- Cobain's mother and sister -- according to the documents published on the TMZ.com celebrity website.
Reasons for the custody battle are unknown, but it isn't the first time Love, 45, has experienced such problems -- Bean was taken under the care of her grandmother in 2003 after Love was arrested for possession of drugs without a prescription.
Love has had a long history of debt, arrests over drugs and parole violations since Cobain committed suicide in 1994 at the age of 27, near the height of the grunge-rock band's success.
