(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Selena Gomez is reportedly the target of a serious death threat.

The 19-year-old singer and actress now has the assistance of the Los Angeles Police Department's Threat Management Unit, TMZ has claimed. The group suggested the star obtain a restraining order, which she has reportedly done.

Thomas Brodnicki, 46, allegedly told his therapist that he was going to kill Selena. He is said to have a criminal history of stalking.

In the declarations by Selena and her lawyer, Blair Berk, the man told the psychiatrist that he travelled to Los Angeles from Chicago just to meet the former Disney star and went to where she was working at least three times.

He has apparently told people he had conversations with God about killing the performer.

Selena says that she is living in "extreme fear" that Brodnicki will carry out the threat against her if something isn't done to intervene

Brodnicki was taken for a mental evaluation last month after he allegedly threatened to "scratch people's eyes out on the street."

He allegedly made the threats against Selena during the evaluation.

Court documents state that the LAPD are taking the threats "extremely seriously".

Selena is currently dating pop star Justin Bieber and has received a lot of negative attention since the relationship started earlier this year. (C) Cover Media
