Mel B's eldest daughter Phoenix Chi arrives home in Hollywood... as family are granted restraining order against her 'violent' step-father Stephen
Mel B's 18-year-old daughter was escorted to the Hollywood family home on Tuesday, after 'abusive' Stephen Belafonte was ordered to stay away.
Phoenix Chi Gulzar was driven to the luxury Los Angeles estate by two older companions the same day that Mel, 41, exposed a staggering level of violence in the family home and in front of the children across their 10-year marriage.
Mel and Stephen's disturbed home life was chronicled in explosive court papers this week, after the former Spice Girl finally filed for divorce.

Arriving home: Mel B's daughter Phoenix Chi Gulzar was seen arriving at the family's Hollywood home on Tuesday, hours after a restraining order against Stephen Belafonte was granted
Phoenix let herself into the home, while a large washing bag was carried to a waiting car by her companions.
The Hollywood home has been on the market ever since Stephen was kicked out two weeks ago, TMZ reports.
The 6,000 square feet property was reportedly put on at $9m but dropped to $8m, while Mel B is said to find the 'bad memories' too painful to ever return.
Phoenix (whose father is Jimmy Gulzar) and her younger sisters Angel (whose father is Eddie Murphy) and Madison (whose father is Stephen) have been directly mentioned in the documents, with claims about violence that took place in front of them, in the home.
Part of the documents, entitled 'Abuse In Front Of The Children,' former Spice Girl Mel details the type of behaviour the children bore witness to in a decade.

It reads: 'Respondent's name-calling, yelling, screaming, demeaning and demoralizing conduct towards me has occurred in [front of] all three of the children.
'When this occurs in front of the children, I repeatedly ask him to stop, or take it upstairs, and he repeatedly refuses to do [so].
'Sometimes he would even get louder until I capitulated to his particular demands.'
One of the most publicised incidents in the UK happened in December 2014, while Mel was filming for the X Factor and due on British TV.
The popstar and TV personality was mysteriously hospitalised and reemerged the next week with scratches and bruises, prompting speculation of domestic abuse.

Proud: Phoenix is Mel's eldest child, from her relationship with Jimmy Gulzar
That Christmas, shortly after Stephen was accused of attacking Mel at their London home, Phoenix publicly defended her step-father.
Then 15, she hit out saying: 'Can everyone just chill he didn't hit my mom don't know how that stupid rumour came up.'
Stephen and Phoenix also enjoyed a joint shopping trip immediately after claims that the teenager was scared of her step-father.
US court documents from a historic custody case between the former Spice Girl and her ex Jimmy Gulzar, Phoenix's father, include the terrifying claims made by Mel's mother Andrea Brown.
Helping hand: Phoenix was not alone, she was helped by two older friends
'Phoenix told me Stephen had a gun and that he had scared her with it,' Andrea allegedly said in 2009, according to documents obtained by The Daily Star.
'While at [Mel's sister] Danielle's, Phoenix said that Stephen told her that when she was 16, he is going to throw her out of the house.'
Andrea - who is estranged from Mel - also said: 'I was shocked at this time to hear Phoenix say she hated her stepfather Stephen and I dismissed this as a result of her having to share mum with him and sister Angel.
'But Phoenix has never spoken like that about Mel's other partners.'
Tricky times: The family has been granted a restraining order against Stephen
