Paparazzi Dies Trying to Get at Bieber.



A paparazzo attempting to shoot photos of Justin Bieber's Ferrari was hit by another car and killed this evening -- although Bieber was NOT behind the wheel of the Ferrari ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Bieber's white Ferrari was pulled over by California Highway Patrol for a routine traffic stop on Sepulveda Blvd. ... near the Getty Center in LA.

According to our sources, Bieber was DEFINITELY not driving at the time. It's unclear at this point who was driving, and if Justin was even in the car. We're told a paparazzo -- who was following the Ferrari at the time of the pull over -- attempted to snap pics while officers conducted the traffic stop ... until CHP advised the photog to move back because the situation was unsafe.

At some point, we're told the photog was struck by an oncoming vehicle and killed. Sources say drugs and alcohol were not a factor for the diver of the vehicle that hit the photog. LAPD is now on scene investigating the incident.

TMZ

Damn. RIP.

damn, some of you are cold. I'm sure no one would resort to this kind of job if they didn't need it. RIP

You get paid thousands of dollars for one pic.

There are plenty of people who would resort to this job when they could do something else less invasive and dangerous.

Those $1000 photos are very rare though. Most paparazzos don't make that much.

So much irony here since most photos on ONTD are from Photogs and most Photogs sell to TMZ?!

As much as I love ~celeb walking posts and seeing celebs ~vacation maybe the entire paparazzi business should be changed, they need new laws or something. Probably a ban on vehicular phototaking should be enough.

lbr, noone should be DYING trying to take a picture of fucking Justin Bieber.

I remember the days when walking posts weren't allowed on ONTD because, paraphrasing the rule at the time, they 'weren't celeb news'. I took a long break from ONTD so I don't know when the change happened, but there was a time they weren't a thing.

I wish walking photos would get banned again, they're always so fucking boring.

I hope people rethink this whole pap shit now....

rip, sympathy to his family

The gist I'm getting is that he wasn't obeying traffic signs and warnings. At this point it has to be asked what pictures are worth reckless driving and putting lives at risk or costing them. That goes not just for the paps but also the companies and publishers that put that kind of expectation on the photographers in the first place. I feel bad for his family.

who is this "lil" twist?
are people still using "lil" these days?
does this mean there is a "big" twist or that he is just a "lil" boy?

confused?
