A Florida woman has been charged with attempted murder after allegedly shooting at Rihanna's Beverly Hills home, with no injuries reported.

Ivanna Lisette Ortiz, a 35-year-old from Florida, was charged with attempted murder following an incident at Rihanna's home in Beverly Hills where she allegedly fired shots. The charges include one count of attempted murder and multiple counts of assault and shooting at an inhabited dwelling, with court records indicating that no people were injured during the shooting. Furthermore, reports reveal that at the time of the shooting, there were ten individuals present at the location, but the whereabouts of Rihanna and her family remain unclear.

Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell provided details on the situation, explaining that Ortiz is thought to have traveled from Florida to Los Angeles, although the exact timing of her trip is still uncertain.
