TMZ says the photos were taken on Jan. 2, the same day 29-year-old paparazzo Chris Guerra was hit by a car and killed while trying to photograph Bieber's white Ferrari. Among those present and allegedly rolling up the joints and passing them around was 19-year-old rapper Lil Twist.<br /><br />Bieber apologized (sort of) to his fans on Saturday morning via Twitter: "Everyday growing and learning. trying to be better. u get knocked down, u get up," he wrote. "i see all of u. i hear all of u. i never want to let any of you down. i love u. and..thank u. #beliebers." <br /><br />"Like i said...2013...new challenges. new doubters...Im ready," he continued. "We are ready. see u all tomorrow and everyday after that. #BELIEVEtour."
