Pop icon Rihanna has reportedly been deeply shaken following a gunfire incident near her Beverly Hills home earlier this week. The unsettling episode left the singer frightened, although she is said to be grateful that no one was harmed.

According to a report by People, Rihanna heard the gunshots when the incident occurred but initially could not understand what was happening. The situation was described as terrifying for the global star.

"Even with a great security team in place, it's scary to realise that something like this can still happen. Rihanna heard the shots, but was initially confused about what happened. She doesn't understand why someone would target her family," a source told People.

Another source added how the Fenty Beauty mogul was left "freaking out" over the incident.

According to sources cited by People, Rihanna was inside the house when the shooting took place. The singer lives at the Beverly Hills property with her partner, rapper A$AP Rocky, and their three children — RZA, Riot and Rocki.

The source added that Rihanna is "okay," though it remains unclear if anyone else was inside the home at the time of the shooting.

On Sunday, March 8, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) said officers responded to a report of "shots fired" at the residence at around 1:15 p.m. local time.

When officers arrived at the scene, they located a suspect and took her into custody without incident. Police also recovered a weapon.

Officials confirmed that no injuries were reported during the incident. However, one of the bullets reportedly went through a wall of the house, adding to the seriousness of the situation.

As of now, authorities have not revealed the motive behind the incident, and Rihanna herself has yet to publicly comment on what happened.
