*A terrifying scene unfolded in broad daylight Sunday afternoon when multiple shots were fired at pop superstar Rihanna‘s Beverly Hills mansion—while the singer and her family were inside, according to law enforcement sources.
The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) confirmed that officers responded to reports of gunfire at approximately 1:20 p.m. PT in the Beverly Hills area, near the Post Office neighborhood. The shots were specifically directed at Rihanna’s gated property.
Details of the Incident
Authorities report that between five and seven rounds were fired at the home. Bullets struck the exterior gate, and at least one round penetrated a wall of the residence. Despite the violent assault, no injuries were reported.
Sources confirm that Rihanna was inside the home at the time of the shooting. It remains unconfirmed whether her partner, rapper A$AP Rocky, and their three young children—sons RZA, Riot, and newborn daughter Rocki, born September 2025—were also present, but the family is believed to have been home.
A 30-year-old woman was arrested shortly after the incident. According to initial reports, the suspect approached the property in a vehicle and opened fire, possibly using an AR-15-style rifle. She was taken into custody without further incident. Her identity and motive remain unclear, and authorities have not yet released details on formal charges.
