Rocky was dressed in black, sporting a leather jacket and sunglasses to cover his eyes.
He donned long, jean shorts paired with matching socks and sneakers for a monochromatic look as he and his team headed out of his hotel.
Rihanna was reportedly also in the car though she was not seen in the photos obtained by TMZ.
Meanwhile, Rocky was reportedly on the other coast and trying to rush back to be by his family’s side.
Previously, Rihanna and her father were estranged before they eventually reconciled in recent years.
In 2019, she sued her dad and claimed he capitalized on her business empire.
In her filing, she alleged that his Fenty Management talent firm profited off of her Fenty Beauty line and other trademarked eponymous ventures.

Two years later, she filed to dismiss the lawsuit and had seemingly mended her relationship with him.
In 2023, when Rihanna and Rocky were expecting their second child together, Fenty gushed over his daughter and shared his excitement of becoming a grandfather to another one of their babies.
Fenty shared three children with his ex-wife Braithwaite including Rihanna, Rajad and Rorrey.
Around the time Rihanna’s career in music was taking off in 2002, her parents split up.
In addition to Rihanna, Fenty is survived by his grandchildren including Rihanna and Rocky’s sons RZA, two, Riot Rose, 18 months, and their baby on the way.
He is also survived by his other children Rajad, Rorrey as well as Kandy, Samantha, Jamie and multiple grandchildren.
