Police interviewed both parties, but neither were reportedly injured in the crash.

However Bieber took to Twitter after the incident, where he proceeded to compare himself to Princess Diana.

He wrote: "There should be laws against what I just experienced. We should have learned from the death of Princess Diana...

"...I don't have a problem with Paparazzi but when they act recklessly they put us all in danger."

Many have since pointed out that, being as Justin reportedly braked his car on purpose, the comparison is an unfair one to make.

But it's not the first time that the singer has caused controversy with his comments.

Earlier this year he said that he hoped Anne Frank would have been a Belieber, writing: "Truly inspiring to be able to come here [the Anne Frank Museum]. Anne was a great girl. Hopefully she would have been a belieber."

The suggestion that had she lived today, the teenager would have been a "belieber" - a term used by his devoted fans to describe themselves - generated thousands of horrified responses on social networking websites.

One tweet read: "Way to turn an inspiring moment into something about yourself."
