Justin Bieber has compared himself to the late Princess Diana after reportedly being rear-ended by a paparazzo.
The 20-year-old pop star was driving his red Ferrari in West Hollywood, California when the collision occurred, X17 Online claims.

According to the outlet, witnesses say Bieber was slamming on his breaks in order to throw a paparazzo travelling in a Prius behind him off guard.
But his alleged plan backfired, as the pap rear-ended his expensive ride, which is said to have resulted in a scratch on the Baby singer’s bumper.
A spokesperson for the West Hollywood Sheriff’s Department told the website investigators are still trying to determine who is at fault.
Bieber seemed to allude to the car crash on his Twitter account.
“There should be laws against what I just experienced. We should have learned from the death of Princess Diana…” he tweeted, wrapping up his thoughts with: “…I don’t have a problem with Paparazzi but when they act recklessly they put us all in danger (sic).”

It seems Bieber has been embroiled in a lot of sticky situations during his stay in Los Angeles recently.
He is said to be angering residents surrounding his Beverly Hills home with his loud parties.
The star reportedly splashed out on a US$29,000-a-month rental pad in the Hollywood Hills boasting a gym, a pool, a spa, ten bedrooms and a nightclub to get a break from the drama.
Radar Online previously reported he is being careful after police raided his Calabasas home earlier this year in connection to an incident in which he was accused of hurling eggs at a neighbour’s home, resulting in thousands of dollars in damage.
