A 30-year-old woman was arrested Sunday on suspicion of firing multiple shots from a rifle at pop star Rihanna’s Beverly Hills, California mansion while the singer was inside her home.
Los Angeles police received a report of a shooting at 1:21 p.m. Sunday and immediately took the suspect into custody, a spokesperson told The California Post. One bullet reportedly penetrated the wall of the house.
Photos from the scene showed yellow police tape outside the singer’s home. Los Angeles police officers were also seen blocking off streets near the star’s property.
It is unclear whether Rihanna’s partner, rapper A$AP Rocky, and their three children – RZA, 3, Riot Rhodes, 2, and 5-month-old Rocky Irish Meyers – were also in the home at the time of the shooting.
No injuries were reported in the incident, according to Police Sgt. Jonathan de Vera, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department, spoke to the Los Angeles Times about the incident.
The LA Times also reported that police responding to the incident heard “approximately 10 shots” fired into the residence, with shots fired from a vehicle across the street from the residence.
The suspect then drove off southbound on Coldwater Canyon Drive in a white Tesla, according to the audio report.
“They are all doing well,” a source close to Rihanna’s family told the Post. The singer has not yet officially commented on the incident.
Other information, including the motive for the shooting, is unknown at this time.
Rihanna has faced other horrors on her property in the past.
In 2018, a 27-year-old man jumped a fence and broke into Rihanna’s mansion in the Hollywood Hills, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.
The alleged intruder, identified by prosecutors as Eduardo Leon, sneaked into the premises during the singer’s absence and camped out inside the house for about 12 hours, before being finally discovered by one of her assistants.
He later pleaded no contest to stalking and was sentenced to a 10-year restraining order forbidding him from coming near the pop icon.
