Courtney Love has reportedly lost custody of her 17-year-old daughter, Frances Bean, for the second time.

Bean, Love's child with late husband Kurt Cobain, is believed to have been placed under the temporary guardianship of her grandmother, Wendy O'Connor.

The former Nirvana frontman's sister Kimberly Dawn Cobain is also listed as a guardian in court documents.

A reason for the custody battle is not known, according to the Associated Foreign Press.

However, it is not the first the troubled Hole star has lost custody of her daughter.

Love's mother was also awarded temporary guardianship in 2003 after the singer was arrested for possession of drugs without a prescription.
