Rihanna 'devastated over naked pics leak'

Rihanna is distraught after naked photographs purportedly showing the star were leaked on the internet, it has been claimed.

None of the nude photographs show the singer's face, but she is visible in other images supposedly from the same set.

The pictures also show a man, believed to be Chris Brown, with a pink pair of underwear on his head.

A source told the News Of The World: "She is freaking out. She was on the road to recovery after a terrible few months.

"She has no idea how these pictures have been leaked but she's determined to find out."

Record label Island Def Jam has reportedly called for the images to be removed as they "violate the artist's rights", though it did not confirm or deny that they are of the singer.

Last year, Rihanna said that she would never appear naked for Playboy because "my mother would kill me if I posed nude."
