Rihanna has paid tribute to a fan who lost her battle with cancer.
The 'Diamonds' hitmaker admitted she was "heartbroken" as she remembered Monia, one of her Rihanna Navy - the name she collectively calls her fans - who passed away over the Christmas period after battling cancer three times.
She wrote on Instagram: "Navy Angels! This Christmas, we lost a beautiful spirit who was such a pillar of strength to us! Most of our friendship she's spent in a hospital or doctor's office! This picture was just a few months ago, she looked at me and said 'Rih the cancer
is back' I'll never forget the fear in her eyes this day! Still she pushed forward, fighting the fight every day with the Navy behind her supporting her every step of the way! We are all heartbroken about this!!! You will never be forgotten! Love you my angel @moniasto fly
in peace. (sic)"
Rihanna also shared pictures she had taken with Monia at the Savage X Fenty Pop-Up in London in June earlier this year.
