— -- After Lana Del Rey told The Guardian "I wish I was dead already," she got a very strong response on Twitter from Frances Bean Cobain, the daughter of the late Kurt Cobain.

In the interview, Del Rey, 28, had mentioned heroes she and her boyfriend shared, which included Amy Winehouse and Kurt Cobain, both musicians who died young at just 27.

Cobain's daughter Frances Bean took offense to her comments, considering she lost her father at such an early age.

"@LanaDelRey the death of young musicians isn't something to romanticize ... I'll never know my father because he died young & it becomes a desirable feat because ppl like u think it's "cool" ... Well, it's f****** not. Embrace life, because u only get one life. The ppl u mentioned wasted that life.Don't be 1 of those ppl."

She followed those tweets up with another telling her not to waste her life away and that "I'm not attacking anyone. I have no animosity towards Lana, I was just trying to put things in perspective from personal experience."

Kurt Cobain died in April 1994 when Frances Bean was less than two years old. It's believed the Nirvana frontman took his own life.

On Monday, Del Rey responded to Frances Bean, saying the reporter from The Guardian "was asking me a lot a out your dad I said I liked him because he was talented not because he died young ... the other half of what I said wasn't really related to the people he mentioned/ I don't find that part of music glam either."
