Sorry: Police and paramedics arrived to Hillsong Church in Los Angeles after Justin Bieber is said to have hit a photographer with his truck
The incident occurred after the singer was leaving the church service.
According to abc7, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian were also at the service but were not involved in the collision.
Beverly Hills police Lt Scott Dowling told the New York Daily News that the collision had taken place at 'extremely slow speed' just before 9.30pm local time.
Justin was driving his black Dodge Ram out of his street parking space and turning right when the collision occurred.
He hit the photographer in the knee and he fell to the ground.
Justin immediately stopped his truck and climbed out of the cab, walking around the front to find the snapper lying on the ground beside it.
He asked the photographer if he was OK or if he was injured.
The man was clutching his leg and crying out in pain, although the extent of his injuries were not immediately apparent.
His camera equipment and baseball cap lay scattered on the ground beside him, while one shoe had partially come off.
The photographer told Justin that he was fine and joked with the singer that something was bound to happen at some point.
Whatever his injuries, they didn't appear to be life-threatening as his fellow photographers simply stood around snapping more pictures.
As Justin spoke to the man, he didn't appear to look too concerned as his offer for a hand up went ignored.

He stood aside nonchalantly with his hands in his pockets, as the medics arrived on the scene to assess the situation.
Beverly Hills Police arrived shortly afterward, as Justin was seen explaining what had happened to two officers.
One ambulance, a fire truck and ten police cars arrived on scene, and Justin spoke to authorities before going inside the church.
The photographer, meanwhile, was taken to hospital with minor injuries.
Hillsong pastor Carl Lentz, who is a close friend of Justin's, also stopped by the scene to make sure everything was OK.
The Canadian singer, who has an 'intense' relationship with Lentz, has been described as the 'Tom Cruise' of the Hillsong Church group.
And in his Instagram bio, Justin links to a sermon by Miami pastor Rich Wilkerson Jr, as opposed to one of his music videos or his songs on iTunes.
Wednesday night's collision comes just days after Justin cancelled the final 14 shows of his Purpose World Tour.
On Monday, the crooner announced he would not be finishing the remainder of his scheduled stadium shows in a statement on his website.
'Due to unforeseen circumstances, Justin Bieber will cancel the remainder of the Purpose World Tour concerts,' management wrote in a statement. 'Justin loves his fans and hates to disappoint them.
Is it broken? the extent of his injuries were not immediately apparent
What? Justin seemed confused by the whole incident
Report: Beverly Hills Police arrived to thye scene shortly afterward
My side: Justin was seen explaining what had happened to two officers
Version: He appeared to get quite animated as he recounted
'He thanks his fans for the incredible experience of the Purpose World Tour over last 18 months.
'He is grateful and honored to have shared that experience with his cast and crew for over 150 successful shows across 6 continents during this run.
'However, after careful consideration he has decided he will not be performing any further dates. Tickets will be refunded at point of purchase.'
This comes after Australia's Channel Nine entertainment guru Richard Wilkins has claimed that the real reason Bieber decided to step off the tour bus was that he wanted to 'reconnect with his faith' and possibly start his own church.
Appearing on Today Extra on Tuesday, Richard said that he had cleaned the 'exclusive' information from an inside, unnamed source.
'I am led to believe that the real reason he has come off the road is because he wants to reconnect with his faith and he may be even planning to start his own church,' Richard claimed on air.
Shortly after, a source told TMZ that Justin actually cancelled the shows because of religion.
He has reportedly 'rededicated his life to Christ,' according to a source connected to Hillsong Church in Los Angeles.

Justin Bieber Was Put In A Choke Hold And Kicked Out Of Coachella {VIDEO}
Justin Bieber wound up in an all out fight with a guy outside of his hotel in Cleveland Wednesday, June 8.
According to TMZ, the pint-sized singer was in town to catch game 3 of the NBA championship series between the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers.
Things got out of hand when he got back to his hotel. When footage of the fight starts Justin is seen arguing with a guy much bigger than him. The guy looks like he lightly jabs at Bieber, who then starts swinging wildly.
Bieber later posted a photo with the caption: "Not a scratch on this pretty boy."
I think the pop star got lucky that the guy he was fighting with didn't seem to want to hurt him because the singer might have gotten messed up badly otherwise. Bieber did show heart though.
Check out the videos above and let us know what you think.

Bieber showed his wristband and said Drake himself had invited him. He even argued he couldn't wait in line because fans would be up in his grill, but security remained firm. Eventually a Coachella staffer agreed to escort Bieber into the artist's area. As she was walking him in security came up and put him in a chokehold. His team got into it with security, and Bieber was ordered to leave the festival. Sources close to Bieber told TMZ he left voluntarily and that he's considering "legal action."
