Rihanna’s Los Angeles home was targeted in a shooting incident on Sunday afternoon, prompting a swift police response and the arrest of a female suspect. Authorities say the incident occurred at the singer’s mansion in the Beverly Hills area while she was inside the property, although no injuries were reported.
According to reports from several news outlets, a woman believed to be around 30 years old allegedly fired multiple gunshots toward the luxury residence from a vehicle parked nearby. Police said between seven and ten rounds were discharged, with at least one bullet striking and penetrating a wall of the house. Officers responded to the scene at around 1:20 p.m. local time after receiving calls about gunfire in the neighbourhood.
Law enforcement officials later located and arrested the suspect, who had reportedly fled the scene in a white Tesla. The vehicle was eventually found at a shopping centre several miles away, where the woman was taken into custody without further incident. Her identity has not yet been publicly released, and investigators have not confirmed a motive for the attack.
Sources say the singer was at home during the shooting but was unharmed. It remains unclear whether other members of the household were present at the time. The mansion, which the artist purchased in 2021, is located in an exclusive Los Angeles neighbourhood known for housing several celebrities.
Police have opened an investigation into the incident, with detectives examining the scene and the recovered weapon to determine the circumstances that led to the shooting. Authorities have not yet indicated whether the suspect had any prior connection to the singer, and no further details about potential charges have been announced.
