What to do if I had an accident whileI had afriend’s car and paid for all auto damages but later found out that she also had her insurance pay for the cost?

My friend went to out-of-state and left her car in my position. While I had it the car was hit on the side while it was parked. I didn’t get a police report so my friend told me that her insurance wasn’t going to pay for it because I didn’t get one. So I agreed to pay all cost which was $2100 and wrote a notarized letter stating I will do so. Later I asked for the estimates and noticed that her insurance paid for it also. Can she get paid twice for this?
