Rihanna has begged her fans to help find one of her former dancers who has gone missing.

Shirlene Quigley – who appeared in Rihanna’s music video for S.O.S and has worked with Beyonce, Chris Brown and Missy Elliott – has not been seen since Sunday.

The Diamond singer shared a video of Quigley, 32, on Instagram and asked her 45.3million followers to help find her.

She captioned the video: “This beautiful soul, and former dancer of mine is MISSING!!! My heart aches thinking of how heavy this is on all who love her!

“If anyone has seen or has any information on @shirlenequigley's whereabouts...

“PLEASE CONTACT the North Bergen Police Department 201 392 2100 !!!!”

Missy Elliott also threw her support behind the search for Quigley who she described as a “sweet caring spirit”.

She wrote: “URGENT Message*** PLEASE If anyone has seen or heard from Shirlene Quigley @shirlenequigley please contact the North Bergen police 201-392-2100!!! She was last seen Saturday night around 12:55 AM at Port Authority.

“She was wearing a pink jacket and 3-4 inch heels. The police have her phone. At this time a police report has been filed.

“If you have any information please come forward. Please share and help us find her!!

"#shirlenequigley amazing SWEET CARING SPIRIT who is LOVED by MANY! I NEED YALL TO REPOST get this info out there! Please help with any information.”

Quigley was reportedly seen shopping for dresses at The Bridal Garden on West 21st Street, North Bergen, New Jersey on Saturday.

She was last spotted boarding a bus at the Port Authority Terminal.

Her father Brad Quigley told the New York Post: “What’s really odd is that, if she got married, she would so want me and her mother to be there. I don’t know what’s going on.”

Police have said they do not suspect foul play and are treating the case as a missing person.
