Images obtained by TMZ shows the chart topper, 38, heading to Van Nuys Airport before taking off in a small private jet. It’s unclear if the ‘Breakin’ Dishes’ hitmaker had previous travel plans or if she made the decision to leave LA as a result of the incident at her home.
The Los Angeles Police Department has confirmed that Rihanna was present at the home when the incident occurred on March 8 around 1:20 p.m. Between five and seven shots were fired from an “AR-15 style rifle,” Los Angeles police said. CNN.
The woman, who is in her 30s, has been identified as Ivanna Lisette Ortizallegedly aimed her shots at the house. However, they all hit the 38-year-old singer’s gate, rather than the property itself. Ortiz is being held on $10.2 million bail.
Law enforcement officials confirmed there were no injuries and noted that Rihanna, whose full name is Robyn Rihanna Fentywas in the home with several people at the time of the shooting.
The “SOS” singer shares three children with her partner: sons RZA Athelston Mayers3, and Riot Rose Mayers4, and a daughter named Rocki Irish Mayersborn in September. It is unclear whether the children were present with their mother when the incident occurred.
Photos show several bags being loaded into a convoy of vehicles outside Rihanna and A$AP’s home before the cars are driven to the airport. It is not known if the rapper accompanied his partner on the trip, and it is not immediately clear if their three children were on the plane.
That’s what the LAPD said Fox News that officers initially responded to an “ADW (assault with a deadly weapon) shots fired,” noting that their audio message described the incident as “10 shots” fired from “across the street.”
The dispatcher also warned officers to be on the lookout for a woman driving a white Tesla with paper license plates.
The suspect was “taken into custody without further incident,” an LAPD spokesperson told Fox News.
According to the Daily mailOrtiz made threats against Rihanna in the days leading up to the shooting. The outlet also revealed that Ortiz had previously been arrested for domestic violence, reckless driving and violating pretrial release conditions in Florida.
Meanwhile, a source told the newspaper New York Post that the couple “don’t know much”. They noted that A$AP was not home at the time.
Rihanna and A$AP have lived in the Beverly Hills property since 2020, when they bought it for $13.8 million. It is believed to have served as their primary residence.
The 7,600-square-foot mansion features five bedrooms and is located near the Beverly Hills Hotel and Sunset Boulevard.
It features an open floor plan with French oak floors, a chef’s kitchen, cocktail bar and formal living and family rooms. The master bedroom has sensational views and a spa bathroom that opens onto a private outdoor area.
The house was built in 1938 and modernized over the years. It now offers a contemporary design combined with traditional style.
A$AP previously owned a $4 million home nearby, which he bought in 2015. That home was the site of an April 2022 raid conducted by police investigating shooting allegations made against him.
During the trial, the jury was shown footage taken during the raid, with video showing officers using a battering ram to gain access to the locked home, which is located on a leafy street lined with luxury properties.
Police removed several boxes of evidence from the home, as well as several weapons, which did not match the weapon used in the shooting. TMZwhich later published images of several U-Haul trucks leaving the home.
The house sold for $3.95 million months before Rihanna gave birth to their third child.
The 6,506-square-foot property had five bedrooms and five bathrooms.
The couple’s impressive real estate portfolio includes several other properties.
In the summer of 2020, the singer paid more than $415,000 per month for a rental property in the Hamptons. She lived in the 6,140-square-foot building from July to August.
The house has five bedrooms and six bathrooms.
It features an open floor plan and is nestled behind lush greenery. The property also offers beautiful views.
To add to its A-lister status, the property is also where Khloe And Kourtney Kardashian filmed their 2014 reality TV show.
The singer chose to spend $25,000 a week on a 19th-century house in London in 2018.
The 6,300-square-foot rental home had eight bedrooms, a gym, a home theater and a 10-car garage.
Inside, the house had mirrored ceilings, black parquet floors and a music room with a bar decorated with Swarovski crystals.
In 2020, the house was for sale for $40.94 million.
Rihanna also briefly tested life in the Big Apple. She rented a high-end penthouse apartment in Manhattan in 2013 for a staggering $39,000 per month. She dropped the pad in 2017, when the rent rose to $50,000 a month. At that time, the place hit the market for a whopping $17 million.
The 7,000-square-foot unit occupies the top two floors of the building and includes a 2,400-square-foot wraparound terrace.
The top floor is accessible via a key-locked elevator. It opens onto the living room, which features oversized windows, a 4-meter high ceiling, a concrete floor and a fireplace.
The open layout includes a chef’s kitchen with high-end appliances. There is a floating steel and wood staircase, a media alcove, a dry bar and a powder room off the kitchen.
The outdoor terrace offers beautiful views of the city and is a perfect place for organizing parties.
There are three full bathrooms and four bedrooms, including the master suite with dressing room and walk-in closet.
While the digs are certainly worthy of a rock star, it appears the house has struggled to find a buyer. After coming on and off the market over the years, with a price drop of about $1 million in 2020, it has been taken off the market.
