Caring Rihanna jets to Manhattan to spend time with sick grandmother Dolly 'I came to New York just for this moment'

She seems to never have a free second - jetting all around the world for her various professional commitments.
But yesterday Rihanna decided to put her family first as she flew from Los Angeles to New York just to spend some time with her grandmother Clara 'Dolly' Brathwaite, who is suffering from cancer.
The 24-year-old singer tweeted a picture of herself with her relative in the hospital, writing on her Twitter page: 'Came to NY, just for this moment right here!'

Rihanna was earlier seen heading to the hospital in Manhattan with her grandfather Lionel.
However, the trip to New York really was a flying visit as after just one day, Rihanna flew back to Los Angeles to continue with her hectic schedule.

She kept fans updated with her travelling plans, writing on her Twitter: 'From N.O to N.Y to L.A less than 24 hrs #rocstars**t #daddyshome.'
Rihanna is very close to her grandmother Dolly - mother of her mother Monica Braithwaite - and always does everything she can to spend special occasions with her family.
In March, Rihanna flew back to New York to throw Dolly a birthday party, later sharing candid photos from the party, in which Dolly was seen wearing baseball caps, sunglasses and chains over her quilted dressing gown as she struck a pose for her famous granddaughter's camera.

Following her trip to the hospital yesterday, Rihanna was seen arriving at New York's JFK airport in the same outfit she had worn earlier in the day - a casual look of a black T-shirt bearing the slogan 'Vision Street Wear' teamed with jeans and trainers.
Rihanna topped off the outfit with a backwards baseball cap, sunglasses and pointed nails covered in bright yellow polish.
