Man Attempts To Break In To Rihanna's Home

Rihanna is busy making music videos and whathaveyou, but in the meantime, her house is at risk: A man reportedly tried to break into her Pacific Palisades home, but to no avail.
The LA Times reports that the man, who wasn't found or arrested, was seen on surveillance cameras at about 7:00 p.m. trying to gain access to the singer's house in the 900 block of Rivas Canyon Road. He was unsuccessful.
Rihanna has meanwhile been working on, and releasing, the video to her new single, "Pour It Up." She also recently opened up to Glamour about dissing her ex Chris Brown on Instagram.
The LA Times notes that the attempted break-in wasn't the first time someone tried to get into RiRi's house. In June, a man was spotted on her roof, and in February, a stranger crawled in and slept in one of her beds.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
