Police are still investigating the death of a young photographer who was struck by an oncoming car Tuesday evening just after 6pm while snapping photos of Justin Bieber's white Ferrari.

CHP confirm to an X17 videographer that the "elderly lady" who struck the paparazzo was "shaken up" following the accident.

The officer goes on to say, "The gentleman that is deceased was taking pictures."

According to CHP, the photographer had finished taking photos of Bieber's car and was attempting to run across the street when he was struck.

Although Bieber was not in the car or at the scene, the 18-year-old performer released the following statement:

"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."

The photographer's name has not been released.

UPDATE: The photographer has been identified as Chris Guerra.

A paparazzo attempting to get shots of Justin Bieber in the pop star's Ferrari, was hit by a car and killed Tuesday night.

Police say Bieber's white Ferrari was pulled over in a routine stop by the California Highway Patrol last night and Justin was NOT behind the wheel, nor was he in the car.

A photographer parked his own car and got out to shoot pix of what he assumed was Bieber being questioned by the cops, when an oncoming vehicle struck and killed him.

LAPD is investigating the incident.

While attending a NYE party at 1 Oak Nightclub at The Mirage in Vegas, the 32-year-old reality star said the following to ET:

"I wouldn't say it's been easy. When people say that pregnancy is fun and they love it I would have to disagree. ... Even my sister has made it look easy, but it's not as easy as people think. ... I heard it's all worth it so I'm looking forward to that."
