Justin Bieber has issued a statement after he showed his fans what paparazzi look like from his point of view.
Bieber has amassed a huge following since he was discovered by a talent agent at 13 years old, meaning he has been in the limelight for a long time.
Because of the way that fans and the media want to know what's going on with celebrities at every moment, paparazzi have become a menace in the lives of some stars.
Paparazzi have been following the now-31-year-old around for years, and they have heartbreakingly managed to capture his highs and his lows.

Even recently, a viral snap of Bieber led to fans making comments about his well-being.
However, we never see what it looks like from his point of view.
So, when he posted a clip on Instagram of paparazzi following him as he attempted to leave a building, fans quickly flocked to his defence.
In the clip, you can hear the singer repeatedly say 'look at these guys' as he is being surrounded by a group of paparazzi and a constant stream of flashes.
Even when they were told to 'back up' to give him some space, some didn't and just kept taking photos as Bieber filmed them.
The 'Baby' hitmaker has now addressed potentially moving from Los Angeles after his followers begged him to get away from the area so that he could have a little bit of peace.
In a post with black text over a white background, Bieber wrote on Instagram: "Everyone telling me to move from LA.
"U think I'm gonna get bullied to leave where my influence is most needed? How can we make a change if we run away from the darkness?"
He went on to share that he has been 'caught up in the transactional nature of Hollywood' and that it's 'embarrassing' but he doesn't want anything to do with that life anymore.
Mentioning his wife and son, Bieber shared that he wants 'to be submerged in the culture learning from any and everyone. And to be a proponent and advocate for love and equality'.
Fans were quick to share their support in the comments section of the post.
One person wrote: "We are here for you buddy. Sending you love and positivity on your future."
Another added: “You got a good heart man. Stay true to yourself and be the man your fam needs. God bless you.”
Someone else penned: “You are a human being and deserve to live and create your art in peace. Paparazzi are the lowest of life forms. We need laws that make them stalkers and their actions a felony.”
This all comes just days after fans again were 'worried' about Bieber after a video, posted originally on TikTok, showed him hunched over in the background at a Coachella party.
