Photog Chasing Justin Bieber Killed – But Was Chasing Lil’ Twist

How tragic! A paparazzo following Justin Bieber’s Ferrari was hit by another car and killed last night — although Bieber was NOT behind the wheel of the Ferrari – it was actually Young Money rapper Lil’ Twist.

Bieber’s white Ferrari was pulled over by California Highway Patrol for speeding on the 405 … near the Getty Center in LA. The CHP directed the driver to pull off the freeway, onto Sepulveda Blvd. and according to law enforcement, Bieber was DEFINITELY not driving at the time.

Not knowing it was just Young Money rapper Lil’ Twist, the photog then crossed Sepulveda to snap pics and was told twice by the CHP to go back to his car on the other side of the road. When the photog tried crossing back, he was struck by an elderly woman’s car as he crossed back and was killed.

Justin released a statement, saying … “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.”

Do you feel the paparazzo go way too far to get pics of your favorite celebrities ?
