"This was all done to save lives, or at least extend them."

Rihanna's mother Monica Fenty and Clara's husband Lionel were present at the ceremony. The Man Down singer's grandmother Clara Braithwaite, who she called "Gran Gran Dolly," died in June after a battle with breast cancer.

The Umbrella singer, 24, is spending the holidays in her native Barbados, having rented a $21.8 million beachside penthouse for the season.
