The injuries are said to relate to a fight between Rihanna and Brown on February 8, which reportedly left her in need of hospital treatment.

Reports suggest Rihanna flew to Barbados to escape the media and to celebrate her 21st birthday on Friday.

The star also released her first statement since the alleged attack via her spokesperson Friday, thanking fans for their support.

"She (Rihanna) wants to assure her fans that she remains strong, is doing well, and deeply appreciates the outpouring of support she has received during this difficult time," the statement said.

Brown was charged with making criminal threats following the incident and faces jail time if convicted.
