"A paparazzi photographer was struck by a car and killed yesterday in Los Angeles after snapping shots of Justin Bieber&amp;apos;s white Ferrari, the Los Angeles Times reports. Bieber&amp;apos;s Ferrari, driven by a friend of the singer, was pulled over for a traffic stop on the 405 Freeway and redirected to a nearby street. The photographer, who was reportedly not a professional, arrived at the street, crossed it to take some photos and was hit by a vehicle as he returned to his car. No arrests have been made, and Bieber was not at the scene.\r\n50 Best Songs of 2012: Justin Bieber, &amp;apos;Die in Your Arms&amp;apos;\r\nThe singer later offered his condolences to the photographer&amp;apos;s family. &amp;quot;While I was not present nor directly involved with this tragic accident, my thoughts and prayers are with the family of the victim,&amp;quot; Bieber said in a statement. &amp;quot;Hopefully this tragedy will finally inspire meaningful legislation and whatever other necessary steps to protect the lives and safety of celebrities, police officers, innocent public bystanders and the photographers themselves.&amp;quot;\r\nBieber has had a notably tense relationship with paparazzi. Last May, the singer was accused of punching and kicking a photographer in a parking lot scuffle, though&amp;#xA0;charges were dropped. In July, a high-speed chase between Bieber and a photographer led to new anti-paparazzi laws that penalize photographers for driving dangerously to capture images. The photographer in that incident had the anti-paparazzi charges dismissed, but still faces charges of reckless driving and failing to obey a peace officer."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
