Rita Ora posted an adorable throwback after revealing she is missing her mum living life in Los Angeles.

The singer, 28, shared an image of herself as a child looking sad as her mother Vera Sahatçiu tends to her painful sunburn.

“I miss my mummy,” she captioned the shot. “This was me sunburnt on holiday one time. Use sunscreen kids.”

Fans couldn’t believe the resemblance between the mother-daughter duo, while others compared Sahatçiu to actress Michelle Rodriguez.

One posted: “You look so similar to your mom. You both are beautiful.”

Another commented: “Your mum hasn’t aged one day.”

Another wrote: “People think your mum has passed away because of this post! Maybe go and see her if you miss her!”

Ora was recently hailed the “hottest woman on the planet” by fans after she stripped down to nude lingerie for her new collaboration with Guiseppe Zanotti in a series of “sensational” snaps.

Her mother last year opened up about her daughter’s racy Instagram posts, saying she sits her down for “mother-daughter talks” when she is back in London to “criticise her”.

Speaking to The Sun she said: “I do criticise her quite a bit, like, ‘Please, can you not say that?’, ‘Can you not do that?’, ‘Put some clothes on, now!’

“Every time she’s on in London, I go and have mother-daughter talks.”
