Rihanna isn’t taking any chances after a Bible-thumping fan shot up her Beverly Hills mansion while the singer was inside with her children on Sunday.
TMZ reports Rihanna fled Los Angeles on a private jet on Monday. Photos obtained by BACKGRID show Rihanna loading bags into vehicles and driving to Van Nuys Airport before she took off.
Rihanna, 38, fled the country a day after deranged fan Ivanna Ortiz, 35, fired multiple rounds at her home from an assault-style weapon.
Police said one bullet pierced a wall of the home. Thankfully, Rihanna and her children were not harmed. Bullets also struck an RV and a security gate.
Police responding to a shots fired 911 call caught up with Ortiz in Sherman Oaks, where she was taken into custody. She is being held on $10.2 million bail.
Ortiz’s unhinged social media posts show her mentally unstable rants in the weeks leading up to the shooting. She accused Rihanna of harassing her and throwing bad energy at her through photographs in an Ulta beauty supply store.

Rihanna’s common-law husband, rapper A$AP Rocky was away on tour when the shooting happened.
An attorney for Ortiz’s ex-husband tells TMZ that Ortiz was previously placed on a 72-hour psychiatric hold in 2023. She also lost custody of her 10-year-old daughter after assaulting her ex-husband in front of the child.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, a Florida judge awarded her ex full physical custody of their child in April 2024. The order bars Ortiz from any in-person, phone, video, text, email or third party communication with the child until further order from the court.
