The 38-year-old singer was at home at her Beverly Hills mansion when it was struck by 10 shots by the 35-year-old woman. The accused has been booked for attempted murder with a bail amount set at 10.2 million dollars.
As per Page Six has now reported a source told the outlet “the singer is taking extra security precautions and has even rescheduled an upcoming photo shoot because of the shooting, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
Another insider said Rihanna “doesn’t understand” why her family was targeted in the shooting. They added to Page Six the Disturbia performer has been left "freaking out” after the attack using an AR-15 rifle.
A source said, “Rihanna heard the shots, but was initially confused about what happened. Even with a great security team in place, it’s scary to realize that something like this can still happen. (It was) terrifying (but Rihanna is thankful) everyone is safe.”
