BREAKING: Rihanna’s Los Angeles-area mansion struck by gunfire; woman arrested, police say
LOS ANGELES — Pop star Rihanna was at her Los Angeles area mansion when a woman opened fire and shot multiple times at the home, sources told ABC News.
Sources told ABC News Rihanna was at home, but nobody was hurt.
Officers responded to a shots fired call around 1:15 p.m. local time at the property, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
The suspect, a 30-year-old woman, has been arrested, the LAPD said. The motive was not immediately clear and the investigation is ongoing.
Multiple shots were fired at the residence, but none penetrated the inside of her home, only the exterior, sources said. Multiple rounds did hit the outside of the home, though, as well as a vehicle parked out front.
A woman fired several shots into the Beverly Hills-area home of pop star Rihanna on Sunday, and a round penetrated a wall of the mansion, a law enforcement source told The Times.
Los Angeles police responded to the report of the shooting at 1:21 p.m. Sunday, a spokesperson said, and a 30-year-old female suspect was taken into custody.
The pop star was home, the source said.
According to police, the suspect fired multiple rounds from inside her vehicle toward the celebrity’s home. No injuries were reported in the incident, according to Police Sgt. Jonathan de Vera, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department.
The LAPD radio dispatch for the incident said that “approximately 10 shots” had been fired at the residence from a vehicle across the street from the property’s gate. The vehicle, a white Tesla, then fled south on Coldwater Canyon Drive, per the dispatch audio.
As police searched for the Tesla, they relayed details over the radio: The suspect’s hair was in braids; she wore a cream-colored blouse; her car was dirty on the bottom. Officers soon caught sight of her vehicle and followed it to a shopping center parking lot in Sherman Oaks, where they arrested her around 30 minutes after the 911 call came in, according to radio correspondence reviewed by The Times.
The pop star reportedly lives in a colonial-style mansion in the Post Office neighborhood of Beverly Hills with her rapper partner ASAP Rocky. The couple share three young children, a daughter and two sons. It wasn’t immediately clear whether anyone else was home at the time of the shooting.
Rihanna and ASAP Rocky were parents to sons RZA, born in May 2022, and Riot, who was born in August 2023, when they welcomed daughter Rocki a little more than five months ago.
