Beyonce has left the building. 

Teams of beefy, black-suited security guards disappeared from Lenox Hill Hospital early Tuesday, escorting superstar couple Beyonce and Jay-Z, and their new baby Blue Ivy Carter,  hospital officials confirmed.

A witness told the New York Daily News that the stars departed in a pair of SUVs with blacked-out windows that sped from the hospital's loading dock around 1:30 a.m. 

Barbara Osborn, media relations director for Lenox Hill, would say only that the family left some time after 5 p.m. Monday.

The pair caused quite a stir at the Upper East Side hospital, where scores of reporters flocked for a glimpse of the ultra-famous infant, born Saturday night. Blue Ivy already has her own song, "Glory Feat. B.I.C.," which Jay-Z released on Twitter Monday.

Some patients on the maternity ward complained the stars' airtight security made it difficult for them to see their own babies. But most seemed to barely register the singer's presence amid the arrival of their own bundles of joy.
