Rita Ora relocates to Los Angeles for work as she continues to stay away from UK

Rita Ora has reportedly left the UK and relocated to Los Angeles after spending time in Australia following her Covid birthday party scandal.

The star was under fire after she held her 30th birthday party during peak lockdown in November last year.

She broke lockdown rules and was pictured arriving at Casa Cruz in London's Notting Hill area to celebrate her big day.

Following the incident, the singer had been travelling around and was recently in Sydney filming for The Voice Australia.

It was in the same country that she was pictured canoodling with Taika Waititi and Tessa Thompson.

According to The Sun, the two flew to Los Angeles earlier this summer to be together, with Rita having a number of projects to work on.

A source told the publication. : “It’s become increasingly obvious for her that LA is going to be where she lives for the foreseeable.

“It feels a bit like there are some bad memories in London and she’s happy to start afresh in LA where there are loads of new opportunities.

“After her birthday bash last year, Rita left the UK and hasn’t been back since."

The Mirror has contacted Rita's reps for comment and it would seem that Rita will be in Los Angeles for a while as she completes a new album, among a host of other projects she is currently working on.

The pair have been linked since April after they shared a racy three-way kiss with actress Tessa.

Her cosy link-up with Taika came a few months after she released an apology for her mid-lockdown birthday bash.

Rita's party was attended by Cara and Poppy Delevingne, Towie's Vas Morgan and her older sister Elena.
