Rita Ora has revealed that her grandmother Besa has died.

The singer-songwriter, 29, posted a heartfelt message alongside a photo of the two of them together.

“Dear Nani,” she wrote. "You were the most glamorous chic hard working independent person I ever met.

"Every day she would go for walks all dressed up looking amazing, go and get her coffee with no help from anyone she didn’t want it," she added.

"She was so caring so strong and sooooo funny! 

"My god did we laugh and when she would tell the truth she had no filter! 

"But she loved and cared with all her heart," she .

The How We Do singer added: "I’m going to miss you everyday. 

“Rest in peace next to gjushi and I know you will be protecting us and guiding us."

She finished, saying: “Try not to party to much up there in heaven I’ll get FOMO [fear of missing out]! I love you nan. Xx."

Rita's mother Vera also shared the news on social media.

She posted a video of a bouquet of flowers with the caption: “In remembrance of my mum #celebrating life #prayer #restinpeace.”
