Mercy James, Madonna's three-year-old adopted daughter, has left her home native Malawi, says the Associated Press.

The little girl was flown out of the African nation late Friday on a private jet bound for London, an airport employee and a source close to the adoption proceedings tell the AP. The flight, which included a stop in South Africa, was expected to arrive in London on Saturday morning.

A nanny, child nurse and another aide reportedly joined Mercy on the flight.

The Supreme Court of Malawi recently approved the adoption after a lower court ruled that Madonna could not adopt the little girl. Last year Madonna adopted a son from Malawi, David.

  • Poor thing had a better life in Malawi. Who'd wanna be a part of Madonna's life, she's trash and a mess. She has no morals, can't stay married, has how many kids from how many dads? So money's going to make this one ok?
