Rita Ora collapsed on the set of a photo shoot in Miami yesterday, and while many headlines are quick to run to make an 'R.I.P' joke, we're going to take the high road. Ora was carried out of her make-up trailer during the beginning of shoot at Soho Beach House Hotel in the Florida resort at about 2.30pm.
A source told Gossip Extra that the ambulance had its lights flashing and the 22-year-old singer was put onto a stretcher and taken to Mount Sinai Medical Centre in Miami Beach. Rita had spent the weekend in Miami modelling for Madonna and daughter Lourdes' junior clothing line, Material Girl.
Just hours before being rushed to hospital she had been tweeting her excitement about being included in MTV's Top Stars of 2013 list and also wished her brother Don Ora a happy 16th birthday.
She later tweeted:
@madonna @materialgirl #materialgirlmiami. Let's have this Miami..... let the fun begin....

Although it is not known if she posted the message after passing out.
According to a statement from her doctor, Ora was treated for heat exhaustion and dehydration before being discharged.
