I have been given some star fruit (carambola) can l safely eat them while l am taking Rivaroxaban as some fruits interact with blood thinners. Thanks for your help.

As far as I know, no fruit interacts with rivaroxaban, other than possibly grapefruit, so star fruit should be fine. But check either online (from NHS or a similar trusted source, obviously) or with your doctor or pharmacist.
