Rihanna's grandmother has claimed that the Barbadian singer is “fine” following her alleged altercation with boyfriend Chris Brown.

Speaking to the The Nation in Barbados, Clara Braithwaite, moved to calm fans fears that Rihanna had suffered serious injury before the Grammys on Sunday (February 8) night.

She told the paper: "I don't want people to worry. Rihanna is fine and she is doing well.”

Both Rihanna and Brown missed the Grammy ceremony on Sunday night where they were due to perform.

Although it has been confirmed that 19-year-old Brown had turned himself into police and released on $50,000 bail after being charged with a felony criminal threat, the identification of the victim has not been formally revealed by police.
