Your support makes all the difference.Justin Bieber has apparently been involved in a car accident outside a church in Beverly Hills.
Video and photos show the singer at the scene where a man was pictured on the ground, reportedly after being hit by the pop star's truck.
TMZ posted a video of the "moment of impact", where a photographer was hit as he took pictures of Bieber leaving the Saban Theater as leaving Hillsong church services on Wednesday night.
He reportedly stayed by the photographer's side for around 10 minutes until paramedics and police arrived at the scene.
Witnesses soon posted footage of the incident to Instagram where the large black SUV is seen knocking into the side of the photographer while it travelled at a slow pace.
Beverly Hills Police said the photographer suffered non-life threatening injuries.
A watch commander from the force told Entertainment Tonight: "The driver of the vehicle stayed and spoke to the officers and they conducted the investigation.
"The driver has since left."
It comes just days after the Canadian star announced he would be cancelling his world tour due to "unforeseen circumstances".
The singer is reportedly exhausted after almost constant touring for the past two years.
Most of the remaining dates were in the US, but the singer was also due to perform in Japan, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Singapore and Indonesia.
A statement on Bieber's 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."
The Independent has contacted Bieber's representatives for comment.
