According to TMZ, law enforcement apprehended a woman, described as approximately 30 years old, at the scene shortly after the shots were fired from her vehicle aimed at Rihanna’s home. The 38-year-old music icon was reportedly unharmed during the frightening episode.
Details remain unclear on whether Rihanna’s partner, rapper ASAP RockyASAP Rocky, aged 37, and their three children—RZA, aged three; Riot, two; and Rocki, five months old—were present inside the house when the shooting occurred. No official confirmation has been provided regarding their whereabouts at the time.
The Daily Mail reached out to representatives for Rihanna and the Beverly Hills Police Department for commentary but has not received any statements to date.
Images from the scene reveal yellow police tape cordoning off the area surrounding the singer’s home, with officers from the Los Angeles Police Department seen blocking off the street and securing the vicinity. A helicopter was also observed hovering above the exclusive neighborhood following the incident.
The motive behind the shooting has not yet been established. Authorities are actively investigating and working to understand the circumstances that led to the suspect firing shots at Rihanna’s property.
Rihanna and ASAP Rocky reside in a lavish $14 million mansion located on a secluded cul-de-sac in the Beverly Hills mountains. The estate boasts five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and sits on an expansive 21,958-square-foot lot featuring an open-air courtyard and a pool.
The home, purchased by Rihanna in 2021, is known for its complete privacy, shielded by tall hedges that separate it from the street. It is situated across from Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney’s residence, highlighting the area’s high-profile nature. Other notable neighbors include Mariah Carey, who has long leased a nearby property, and Madonna.
Originally built in the 1930s, the property was previously owned by Mary Sheldon, daughter of Sidney Sheldon, creator of the classic television series I Dream of Jeannie.
Following the shooting, police detectives and investigators were seen outside the home conducting inquiries. A police vehicle blocked access to the road leading to the mansion to maintain security during the investigation.
In 2024, Rihanna and ASAP Rocky provided a rare glimpse inside their family residence, showcasing a warm, child-friendly environment filled with toys and heartfelt family photographs. The rapper shared images of their son Riot in his playroom as part of a birthday tribute, highlighting the couple’s dedication to family life amid their celebrity status.
Other snapshots from the home showed ASAP Rocky holding Riot in a room with a marble countertop, decorated with snacks and baby essentials. Family portraits and vibrant artwork featuring the couple were displayed throughout the home, reflecting their close bond and joyful family atmosphere. A magnet board with the names Riot, RZA, apples, and boy spelled in colorful letters added a charming personal touch.
Previously, in 2021, reports had surfaced indicating that Rihanna was renting out this mansion for an impressive $80,000 per month after purchasing an adjacent property for $10 million. However, sources later confirmed she had moved back into this family home along with her children.
Despite recent challenges, the couple appeared in good spirits the Sunday before the shooting when they were spotted enjoying a date night at The Laugh Factory in Los Angeles. Both donned stylish black leather jackets and sunglasses, spending quality time together in a low-key outing.
Rihanna and ASAP Rocky have fueled marriage speculation over the past year, with the singer referring to him as her “loving husband” and the rapper calling her his “wife.” Their relationship, which began as a friendship, blossomed into romance in 2020 after Rihanna’s split from her former partner, Hassan Jameel.
The couple welcomed their first son, RZA, in May 2022. Rihanna publicly revealed her second pregnancy during her 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Show performance, where she proudly displayed her baby bump. Their second son, Riot Rose, was born in August 2023.
In May 2025, Rihanna confirmed her third pregnancy by showcasing her growing bump at the Met Gala. She gave birth to their daughter, Rocki Irish, in September of the same year, completing their family of five.
The shooting at Rihanna’s home has left fans and neighbors shaken but relieved that the singer and her family are safe. Law enforcement continues their investigation to uncover the reasons behind this alarming and unprovoked attack on one of Beverly Hills’ most famous residents.
