COURTNEY LOVE stepped out in Malibu this weekend looking shockingly pale and thin.

The Hole singer has been under huge strain since the disappearance of her ex-husband KURT COBAIN's ashes, recently admitting she felt suicidal after they were allegedly stolen from her home.

She said last month: "I can't believe anyone would take Kurt's ashes from me. I find it disgusting and right now I'm suicidal. If I don't get them back I don't know what I'll do.

"They were all I had left of him. Who has their husband's ashes stolen?"

Most of the NIRVANA singer's ashes were scattered at a Buddhist temple in New York and in the Wishkah river in Washington state.

But Love says she kept some for herself, in a pink bear-shaped handbag, hidden in a wardrobe at her home in Hollywood.

The star, who has been linkled with comedians STEVE COOGAN and RUSSELL BRAND, has had weight issues in the past, recently shedding 52 pounds after a strict diet regime - and of course her weight yo-yo'd during her wild, drug filled years.

However, these shocking new pics have worried many observers.
