BEVERLY HILLS: Woman Shoots at Rihanna’s Home, Police Say Singer Was Inside But Unharmed

Rihanna Unharmed in Shooting Incident at Beverly Hills Home

Beverly Hills, CA — March 7, 2026

A frightening incident unfolded at Rihanna’s Beverly Hills home on Sunday afternoon, March 7, 2026, when a 35-year-old woman, later identified as Ivanna Lisette Ortiz from Florida, fired multiple shots at the pop star’s gated property. The shooting occurred around 1:20 p.m. when Ortiz arrived in a white Tesla and fired at least ten rounds in the direction of the residence. Some shots struck the front gate, an RV parked in the driveway, and at least one bullet penetrated an exterior wall of the home.

At the time of the attack, Rihanna, her partner, and their young children were inside the house. Fortunately, no one was physically harmed in the incident. Law enforcement quickly responded, tracking Ortiz’s vehicle south on Coldwater Canyon Drive and finding it parked in Sherman Oaks. Ortiz was arrested without further incident and later booked on suspicion of attempted murder, with her bail set at $10 million.

An AR-15-style rifle was recovered from Ortiz’s vehicle during the arrest, though police have not disclosed a clear motive for the shooting. The case is being treated as an active investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department’s Homicide Division. Officials confirmed that there is no known connection between Ortiz and Rihanna or her family, though social media posts attributed to Ortiz in the days leading up to the incident hinted at erratic behavior. In one post, Ortiz used derogatory language while tagging Rihanna, seemingly challenging her to respond. In another, Ortiz filmed a video addressing rapper Cardi B in front of a mirror.

Neighbors in the Beverly Crest area, a typically quiet neighborhood, were startled by the sound of gunfire and described feeling shaken by the sudden violence. The prompt and efficient response by the Los Angeles Police led to Ortiz’s arrest within about half an hour, with residents praising the police for their quick actions.

While Rihanna has not publicly commented on the incident, her representatives have remained silent as authorities continue to piece together the details surrounding the shooting. Rihanna, who is known not only for her chart-topping music but also for her business ventures, has previously faced security concerns. However, this marks one of the most dramatic incidents involving the singer and her family.

As the investigation continues, questions remain regarding the suspect’s motives and how she traveled from across the country to target Rihanna’s home. Law enforcement officials have said they will review all available evidence to build a clearer picture of the events that led to this unsettling incident.
