Rihanna puts house on the market for $15 million

Rihanna is selling her home in Los Angeles for almost $15 million, where two of her stalkers showed up unannounced last year.

The 'Diamonds' hitmaker has put her sprawling estate in Pacific Palisades, California, which she began renting out in November for $65,000 a month, on the market for $14.995 million, according to real estate website Trulia.com.

The 26-year-old singer purchased the 11,000-square-foot retreat in December 2012 for $11.9 million, but spent very little time at the property, which boasts seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a sundeck, Jacuzzi, huge outdoor pool and 20 guest parking spaces, as she was away performing her 'Diamonds World Tour' for most of last year.

It is also thought that the 'Stay' hitmaker was put off living at the house, as fans kept showing up unannounced. The singer secured a three-year restraining order against Steveland Barrow in March 2013, after he broke into the property next door, which he wrongly believed to be her home.

A judge also ordered Robert Melanson to stay at least 100 yards away from the 'Umbrella' singer's house and, or, place of business, after the 26-year-old male trespasser was caught creeping around on her roof in June.

In court documents, Rihanna, who was not at home at the time of either incident, wrote she feared for her safety because Robert was unstable and had a criminal history.
