In 2016, she published “Sorry Not Sorry: Dreams, Mistakes, and Growing Up.” The American singer was also into fashion and even launched her own clothing line. Rivera also gave a helping hand to those in need. She regularly supported various causes such as Stand Up to Cancer, The Trevor Project, The Elephant Project, and The Sunshine Foundation, among others.

Sadly, the 33-year-old TV personality has been reportedly missing since July 8.
