If living at home, how much to pay in rent?

Currently 28F, I currently pay $1,000 to live at home with parents in a two story house where I get my own bedroom and bathroom with shared use of the kitchen, utilities included. I end up spending around $70/mo in groceries (mostly for my breakfast) because my mom makes dinner most of the time which I also take to work for lunch.

I make about 70k gross in Los Angeles County. Asking because I want to help them with finances. I hate the idea of paying a stranger for rent when I could just be giving it to my parents, but I want to keep it financially viable for me vs moving out with roommates. I would like to know if $1,000/mo as a $70,000/year earner is a decent ratio?
