Shots Fired at Rihanna's Beverly Hills Home

A 30-year-old woman has been arrested after allegedly opening fire on the singer's residence.

Published on Mar. 9, 2026

On Sunday, March 8, the Los Angeles Police Department responded to reports of 'shots fired' into a local residence, which turned out to be the home of Rihanna, A$AP Rocky, and their three children. Rihanna, who was inside at the time, has been deemed 'okay,' and no one reportedly suffered any injuries. The suspect, a 30-year-old woman, fired multiple rounds from inside her vehicle toward Rihanna's Beverly Hills home, with bullets penetrating a wall of the mansion, the front gate, and an RV parked in the driveway. The woman was eventually detained in a shopping center parking lot in Sherman Oaks, and police found an assault rifle and seven casings in her vehicle.

Why it matters

This is not the first time Rihanna's homes have been targeted, as a man broke into her Hollywood Hills residence in 2018 and spent about 12 hours inside until he was discovered by an assistant. The latest incident raises concerns about the security and safety of celebrities' private residences, as well as the potential motives behind such attacks.

The details

The shots were fired around 1 p.m. PT by the 30-year-old woman, who was parked outside of the house. After the rounds were fired from the vehicle, the woman drove her white Tesla down Coldwater Canyon Drive, and she was eventually detained in a shopping center parking lot in Sherman Oaks, around 30 minutes after the call was made to the police. When the suspect was pulled over and taken into custody, police searched the vehicle and located an assault rifle and seven casings.
