Pop icon Rihanna was photographed making a swift exit from Los Angeles on Monday, just hours after a terrifying rifle attack targeted her luxurious Beverly Hills mansion. The 38-year-old singer, whose real name is Robyn Fenty, was seen driving with a convoy of SUVs to the private section of Van Nuys Airport, where she boarded a small twin-engine private jet. This departure occurred shortly after authorities charged a woman with attempted murder for the Sunday shooting incident.
Chilling 911 Audio Reveals Disturbing Details
Newly obtained 911 dispatch audio paints a harrowing picture of the attack on Rihanna's home. In recordings acquired by the Daily Mail, dispatchers can be heard urgently reporting that approximately ten shots were fired at the property. The audio indicates that the suspect was believed to be driving a white Tesla with temporary paper license plates during the incident.
According to the Los Angeles Police Department, the alleged shooter discharged multiple rounds from her vehicle while targeting the address. Fortunately, no injuries were reported from the attack. Police descriptions relayed over radio mentioned the suspect had braided hair and wore a cream blouse, with her vehicle noted as being dirty on the bottom.
Suspect Identified and Arrested
Law enforcement officials have identified the alleged shooter as 35-year-old Ivanna Ortiz from Florida. Ortiz is currently being held on a staggering $10.2 million bail following her arrest on attempted murder charges. A police helicopter located her vehicle in a Sherman Oaks parking lot, leading to her apprehension.
Investigative reports reveal that Ortiz, ironically a Christian influencer, had made disturbing threats directed toward Rihanna in the days preceding the shooting. The Daily Mail further uncovered that Ortiz has previous arrests for domestic violence, careless driving, and violating pretrial release conditions in Florida. In December of last year, she filed an appeal to overturn a custody decision that granted her child to her former partner.
Rihanna's Whereabouts During the Attack
The singer-songwriter was reportedly inside her Beverly Hills residence at the time of the shooting. The mansion is shared with her partner, rapper A$AP Rocky, though sources confirm Rocky was not present during the incident. It remains unclear whether the couple's three children—RZA, three; Riot, two; and Rocki, five months—were at home when the shots were fired.
A source close to Rihanna and A$AP Rocky told The New York Post that both celebrities "don't know much" about the circumstances and were "left in the dark" regarding what transpired. The motive behind the attack remains under investigation by the LAPD's Robbery-Homicide Division.
Luxury Property Details
Rihanna purchased the stunning Beverly Hills estate in 2021. The property features five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, an open-air courtyard, and a pool, situated on a sprawling 21,958-square-foot lot originally built in the 1930s. Notably, the mansion is located directly across the street from Paul McCartney's home in a secluded cul-de-sac.
The typically quiet street boasts other high-profile neighbors, including Madonna and Mariah Carey, who has been leasing a property nearby for years. Representatives for Rihanna and the Beverly Hills Police Department have not yet responded to requests for comment regarding the incident.
