The 18-year-old heartthrob is seen holding what TMZ suggests is a roll-up as he chats with friends inside a hotel room in Newport Beach, California.
According to the website, the pictures were taken on January 2 - the day after 29-year-old Chris Guerra was hit by an oncoming vehicle in Los Angeles after taking pictures of singer's white Ferrari.
According to TMZ, Guerra claimed just hours before he died that he saw the pop star smoking cannabis through a pipe in the vehicle. Bieber was not behind the wheel at the time he was killed. The singer's friend, 19-year-old rapper Lil Twist, was reportedly driving Bieber's $200,000 Ferrari and was stopped by police when Guerra rushed to the scene and was told by authorities to step back.
Sources at the Newport Beach party told the website Twist was also there.
Bieber seems little worried about the previous night's tragic events, and was laughing heartily as he held the cigarette while his peers drank beer.
The insiders claim Lil Twist and his brother were rolling all cigarettes and passing them around, resulting in 'a lot of pot smoke'.
It is also alleged no one seemed to mind the photographs being taken, despite security being present. Bieber apparently complained about how tired he was because he'd been staying up late recently, and went on to ask about how he could find some late night fast food.
Controversy is surrounding the star as of late, with fresh claims Bieber has again split from longtime girlfriend Selena Gomez. Reports suggest a mystery girl slept in the hotel room the evening the photographs were taken, though it is unclear if anything untoward happened.
Freelance photographer Guerra was tailing Bieber’s white 458 Italia Ferrari when it was pulled over by California Highway Patrol officers in Los Angeles.
