Barbados singer Rihanna is dominating headlines after her home in Los Angeles, United States, was targeted.

Rihanna previously shared a behind-the-scenes video of a day in her life, raising the hopes of music lovers after revealing that she is back in the studio.

Now, Rihanna is back in the news after a woman attacked her home on Sunday afternoon, 8 March 2026.

TMZ reports that a woman around 30 years old was apprehended after firing multiple rounds from her vehicle toward Rihanna's house.

Law enforcement sources told the publication that the woman drove up near Rihanna’s Los Angeles mansion and discharged several shots in the direction of the home. It's unclear what prompted the incident.

Police officers swiftly rushed to the scene and took the woman into custody without further incident. Detectives are currently investigating the motive.

Rihanna’s representatives were contacted for a comment, but had reportedly not responded by the time TMZ published the article.
