WOMAN ARRESTED AFTER GUNSHOTS HIT RIHANNA'S MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR HOME

LONDON, March 10 (Bernama-PA Media/dpa) -- A woman has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after Rihanna’s multi-million dollar home in Los Angeles was hit by gunshots, PA Media/dpa reported.

Ivanna Lisette Ortiz, 35, from Florida, was held with bail set at US$10.2 million following the incident, which took place on the afternoon of March 8.

The Los Angeles police department said officers from its West LA division responded to reports of gunfire at the singer’s Beverly Hills home.

The police force confirmed a weapon was recovered at the scene, but no injuries have been reported.

It is not known whether Rihanna, whose real name is Robyn Fenty, was at home when the incident took place.

The 38-year-old singer and rapper ASAP Rocky have three children together - sons RZA and Riot Rose and their daughter Rocki, who was born last year.

The Barbados-born star rose to global fame in the early 2000s with hits like "Disturbia," "Pon De Replay" and "Umbrella."

She has won a string of awards including nine Grammys and has topped the UK charts with nine number one singles and four albums.

Rihanna has since launched multiple businesses, including her successful make-up range Fenty Beauty and her Savage X Fenty lingerie line.

Last February, her partner, ASAP Rocky, real name Rakim Athelston Mayers, was acquitted on firearms charges.

Rihanna was present when the verdict was read, and she took their two sons to the closing arguments.

Rihanna has been approached for comment.
