Rita Ora has bought her parents an AMAZING mansion which has reportedly cost her £1.5 million! The stunning house is in the city of Pristina in Kosovo, where Rita and her family are originally from before moving to London in 1991.
It comes after the hit singer was named number 9 on this week’s Sunday Times Young Musicians Rich List.
Her mum Vera posted this picture of the house in Pristina, Kosovo on her Instagram, captioning it, 'Home is where the heart is'.
She added, 'Even though we live in London it is so important for us and our children and future generations to be able to visit our home town Pristina'.
An insider has said how thankful Rita is of her parents for bringing her to the UK. They said, "She is eternally grateful that they gave her a chance in life by escaping Kosovo during the political uprising and is delighted they are able to lay roots back there".
