Justin Bieber has shared an emotional tribute to his photographer pal Corentin Villemeur, after he was critically injured in a hit-and-run crash.

According to TMZ, the videographer was struck by a car that had just run a red light as he was crossing a Hollywood street on Tuesday, and the LAPD has the car’s license plate, and is currently pursuing leads.

Taking to Instagram, Justin shared a photo of Corentin alongside the caption, “My prayers are with Corentin and his family. Corentin is the man behind the camera at Shots.”

“He was hit by a car while crossing the street and the driver took off. He’s in critical condition with friends and family by his side. My heart is also with the Shots Family.”

Shots Studio is the talent management and production studio behind some of YouTube’s biggest stars, including Lele Pons – who was at the scene of the crime.

Following the incident, Lele announced on Twitter that she would be taking a break from social media to be with Corentin at the hospital.

The YouTuber also asked her fans to donate to a GoFundMe campaign, that has been set up by Shots founder John Shahidi in order to help fund Corentin’s recovery.

The GoFundMe has already raised over $146k, and stars like Pauly D and Alesso have made big donations.

At present, Corentin remains in critical condition after undergoing brain surgery.

The photographer suffered from bleeding within his brain, 10 broken ribs, a ruptured spleen, a broken shoulder blade, and a broken leg.
