Natalie Cole underwent kidney transplant surgery in L.A. on Tuesday and is now "resting comfortably."
Cole, 59, has struggled with kidney problems while undergoing treatment for hepatitis C, which she was diagnosed with a year ago. "The kidney came from a deceased organ donor through the regional organ procurement agency, One Legacy," her rep said in a statement.
In February, Cole was hopeful that her son Robert might be a possible donor match. Cole, who has undergone kidney dialysis three times a week since September, is expected to spend the next three to four months recuperating.
Cole contracted the degenerative liver disease from sharing dirty needles via a drug addiction in that occurred in the 80s.
