Rihanna’s father, Ronald Fenty, has reportedly died. He was 70.
The patriarch passed away early Saturday morning in Los Angeles, according to Starcom Network News, a radio station based in the pop superstar’s native country of Barbados.
An official cause of death was not immediately known. However, the outlet reported Fenty died following a “brief illness.”
Sources told the radio station that family members have gathered in California to commemorate his life.
Photos obtained by Page Six show Rihanna’s brother Rajad Fenty arriving at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles to visit Ronald on Wednesday.
Rihanna was believed to be in the car as well, but she is not visible in the photos.
The superstar’s rep did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment. The “Diamonds” singer has also not yet publicly commented on her father’s passing.
