After the tragic event, Justin Bieber has called for new laws for paparazzi photography.

Following news of the man’s death, the 18-year-old singer today released a statement.

As reported by CNN, the statement said: “While I was not present nor directly involved with this tragic accident, my thoughts and prayers are with the family of the victim.

“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.”

It is believed the photographer was tailing Justin Bieber’s white Ferrari when it was pulled over by California Highway Patrol officers.

He got out of his car to take pictures but was struck by another car as he was running back to his own vehicle, sources told the Los Angeles Times.

James Stoughton said the photographer, who was not identified, died at a hospital shortly after the crash Tuesday evening.

The sports car was parked on the side of Sepulveda Boulevard near Getty Center Drive after a traffic stop. The photographer was struck as he walked across the boulevard after taking pictures.

James Stoughton says no charges are likely to be filed against the motorist who hit the man.

The LAPD is continuing to investigate the man’s death.

Lady Gaga recently split up from her boyfriend Taylor Kinney, but her pal Terry Richardson has claimed today the singer is engaged.

The celebrity photographer posted a link to his blog on Twitter, writing: “Gaga showing off her new engagement ring!”

It links to a picture of Lady Gaga brandishing a huge rock on her engagement finger.

Of course, it could be just an elaborate hoax, given that Lady Gaga, 26, split from Vampire Diaries actor Taylor Kinney earlier this month.

TMZ is running the story and carrying the picture of Lady Gaga wearing the ring, claiming there are conflicting reports about her relationship status.

It was reported earlier this month how Lady Gaga called time on her relationship with Taylor Kinney because she wants to concentrate on her career.

Apparently Lady Gaga decided it was pointless to string him along as she embarks on her mammoth Born This Way Ball tour, so decided to it was time for the couple to “take a break”.

A source close to Lady Gaga told Us Weekly: “She will be touring nonstop until next year and has found she can’t have relationship at the same time.”

It seems Lady Gaga decided she would be juggling too many interests by recording her next album, maintaining her relationship and embarking on a 110-show tour, and that something had to give.

The insider added: “There’s just no room for anything else. Her work is all-consuming.”
