However, her life of glitz and glamour didn’t make her oblivious to pressing issues. The model uncharacteristically spoke up about a Syrian family through her Instagram.

In her Instagram post, Rosie told the simple tale of a 9-year-old girl through UNICEF, perhaps marveling at how a normal child, who deserves a happy childhood, had to suffer through a five-year conflict before fleeing her own home.
