Frances Bean Cobain breaks her silence to wish Courtney Love well on Christmas Day

Frances Bean Cobain has been estranged from her mother for several years, but she broke her silence to wish her mother Courtney Love well on Christmas Day.

Courtney Love, who has made many attempts to reunite with her only daughter, made yet another entreaty on Tuesday to her 20-year-old daughter, but this time, she got a response.

“Merry Christmas Bean!! Love you more than you could ever know. Xmamma,” Courtney Love tweeted to Frances Bean Cobain.

And hours later Frances Bean Cobain responded with a succinct message that only gently poked fun at the Hole singer’s eccentric ways by referring to her mother as “kooksmcgee”.

She wrote: “@Courtney merry Christmas kooksmcgee.”

Courtney Love, rather typically, got carried away and tweeted three additional responses to her only child, all of which were ignored.

“That tweet was the best gift ever, its all I need even if it’s a dammed social network J miss that little head of yours,” Courtney Love she wrote.

“That beautiful little head, and those long legs. Oh and by the way, sorry about the second hand smoke thing re: baby pic.”

Before adding bizarrely: “But am trying these new e-cigs, the @njoyecigs so far are the best ones ive tried. Maybe they should pay us for this plug.”

When she was 17-years-old, Frances Bean Cobain got a restraining order against her mother, and went to live with other family members.

It was later revealed in legal documents that the order was granted due to domestic violence claims against Courtney Love by her daughter.

Frances Bean Cobain now lives in a $1.8 million home in the Hollywood Hills that she purchased with her trust fund set up after her father, Kurt Cobain’s, death.
