A woman was arrested Sunday after allegedly firing several shots with a rifle at the Beverly Hills mansion of pop star Rihanna, with one bullet piercing a wall of the home, a law enforcement source told the Post.
Los Angeles police said officers responded to reports of gunfire around 1:21 p.m. and quickly took a female suspect into custody.
Authorities are now working to determine the motive.
Photos from the scene showed yellow police tape outside the singer’s home. LAPD officers were also seen closing off the street near the star’s property.
A source close to the family told the Post, ‘they are all doing okay.’ No one was injured, according to LAPD.
Rihanna was home at the time according to the LA Times.
Police say the suspect fired between seven and nine rounds from an AR-15-style rifle. Four of the rounds struck the house. Investigators were seen examining an Airstream trailer parked in the home’s driveway according to NBC LA.
LAPD radio dispatch said several shots were fired at the home from a vehicle parked across the street from the property’s gate. The suspect then sped off in a white Tesla, heading south on Coldwater Canyon Drive, according to the dispatch audio.
The suspect was later caught and arrested at a shopping center parking lot in Sherman Oaks about 3 minutes after the 911 call came in, according to the Los Angeles Times. She has been described as a 30-year-old woman by the LA Times, other outlets describe her as a woman in her 30s.
The singer reportedly lives in a colonial-style mansion in Beverly Hills’ Post Office neighborhood with her husband, rapper A$AP Rocky. Rihanna and A$AP Rocky — share kids RZA, 3, Riot Rose, 2, and 5-month-old Rocki Irish Mayers — they have yet to speak publicly on the attack. It wasn’t immediately clear if anyone else was inside the home when the shots were fired.
LAPD said investigators from its Robbery-Homicide Division will handle the case.
In February 2025, A$AP Rocky was found not guilty on two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm after he was accused of shooting at his onetime friend and bandmate following a heated argument in 2021.
Rihanna purchased the $13.8 million mansion in 2021. The five-bedroom, seven-bathroom estate stands at 7,600 square feet in the same neighborhood as homes belonging to the likes of Mariah Carey, Madonna and Paul McCartney.
This is not the first time the Grammy-winning superstar has endured a scare at home.
Back in 2018, a 27-year-old man broke into Rihanna’s Hollywood Hills residence after hopping a fence, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.
The alleged intruder — identified by prosecutors as Eduardo Leon — slipped inside the property while the singer was away and camped out in the house for roughly 12 hours before finally being discovered by one of her assistants.
Leon later pleaded no contest to stalking and was slapped with a 10-year stay-away order, barring him from going anywhere near the pop icon.
Since welcoming her firstborn, Rihanna has confessed she would “not play” when it comes to her kids, saying she took a page from Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice.
“She will flatten you about those kids,” she told Teen Vogue in 2022. “And that resonates with me a lot because I feel like that’s the type of mom I’m going to be.”
Rihanna — whose real name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty — rose to prominence in the early 2000s with hit songs like Pon de Replay and Umbrella.
Since then, she has expanded far beyond music, turning her success into a major business venture. Through her Fenty label, she has built a global brand that includes cosmetics, fashion and lingerie.
