Justin Bieber has condemned people loitering outside his home, calling them “completely inappropriate and disrespectful”.

It was not clear who exactly the singer was referring to on his Instagram Story earlier this week, when he wrote: “How do you convince yourself it’s not completely inappropriate and disrespectful to wait outside my home to gawk, stare and take pictures as I walk into my apartment?”

He added: “This is not a hotel. It’s my home.”

Last month, Bieber and his wife Hailey reportedly bought a new $26m (£20m) home in Beverly Hills.

According to the listing on Westside Estate Agency, the seven-bedroom home is situated on 2.5 acres and is located in one of the most sought-after gated communities in the area.

The pop star has not had a good relationship with paparazzi over the years.

In 2014, he controversially compared a run-in he had with the press to the death of Princess Diana, accusing photographers of acting “recklessly” after his red Ferrari collided with a paparazzo’s Prius in West Hollywood.
