POP sensation Shakira reportedly chartered an air ambulance to bring her beloved parents across the Atlantic to join her in her swanky Miami mansion.
The Colombian superstar recently moved from Barcelona to Miami following her blowout split with her ex, footballer Gerard Pique.
But as she set up her new life abroad – the star was taking no chances in moving her parents, mum Midia Ripoli and dad William Mebarak.
The superstar’s parents were reportedly moved via a specially chartered air ambulance, complete with a private doctor, to Miami, reports InfoBae.
Shakira, 46, had previously hoped to bring them over when she initially moved, but due to health concerns for her parents, the journey was delayed.
Non-stop flights from Barcelona to Miami can take up to nine hours.

“The plane that will take them is an air ambulance. A doctor will travel with them and will monitor them at all times,” a source told Vanitatis.
The reunion with her parents will no doubt be a joyful one, as Shakira was previously seen looking sombre as she left her long-time home of Barcelona.
She wrote a heartfelt Twitter post before departing: “I settled in Barcelona to give my children stability, the same that we are now looking for in another corner of the world next to family, friends and the sea.
“Today we start a new chapter in the search for our happiness.”
