Recovering: Rihanna's father Ronald Fenty was rushed to hospital with a deadly tropical bug
Singer Rihanna's father has been hospitalised after contracting a deadly tropical virus.
57-year-old Ronald Fenty is now recovering at home after being struck down with dengue fever, a virus which kills thousands of people every year.
The disease is transmitted by mosquitoes and ticks and while it is harmless for most people, some need to be treated intravenously for dehydration.
Ronald fell ill just days after his superstar daughter came to visit the family in their native Barbados.
