Billie Piper was photographed in West Hollywood on 30 April 2002, visiting a tanning salon before shopping for groceries. She wore grey trousers, a brown jumper over a green top and a grey cap.
Piper was living in the Los Angeles area during this period, after she and Chris Evans had spent time at a Beverly Hills property. She was also moving away from the pop career that had made her famous as a teenager.
By the summer of 2001, Piper had stepped back from recording to focus on acting. Her television career gathered pace from 2003 and led to her role as Rose Tyler in the BBC's revival of Doctor Who in 2005.
