A car being driven by Justin Bieber hit a paparazzo as he was leaving a church service in Beverly Hills last night.
According to reports, the incident occurred around 9.30pm on Wilshire Boulevard near Hamilton Drive.
Eyewitnesses claim that the Canadian singer got out of the Ram pickup truck to check on the photographer after striking him.
He had been attending a Hillsong church event.
Police are currently investigating the incident. The LAPD said that the injured pap was taken to hospital with a leg injury.
Justin Bieber recently cancelled the last 14 dates of his ‘Purpose’ tour, leading some to believe he was starting his very own church.
When approached by TMZ, the singer looked ‘dumbfounded’ at the idea and replied: ‘No, you already know the reason.’
A statement on his website read:
Justin loves his fans and hates to disappoint them.
He is grateful and honoured to have shared that experience with his cast and crew for over 150 successful shows across six continents during this run.
However, after careful consideration he has decided he will not be performing any further dates. Tickets will be refunded at point of purchase.
His manager, Scooter Braun, also spoke out about the decision to end the tour, writing on his Instagram:
To the fans from all over the world who took part over the last 16 months over 6 continents thank you.
To Justin who gave it his all night after night thank you. And to those that won’t be able to see it… on behalf of myself, Justin, and the team, we are sorry.
That was never our intent. But a man’s soul and well being I truly car about came first and we must all respect and honor that.
Justin will be back and I know he looks forward to performing for you and with you all again. One chapter ends and another begins. Thank you again.
Now please stop commenting on all my other photos that have to do with this :) just kidding… but I’m not. Jokes aside, your support for Justin is inspiring. Cheers.
Gutting for the Beliebers out there.
