Justin Bieber pays tribute to fan

Teen pop sensation Justin Bieber has paid tribute to a young fan who lost her life because of cancer.

The 'Baby' hitmaker had made little Briana's dreams come true last year, when an online campaign launched by her parents led to a meeting between the 10-year-old leukaemia sufferer and her pop icon, reported Daily Star.

The girl passed away over the weekend.

"Just got news about little Briana. I was honored to meet her. I know she is up in heaven smiling. Rip Briana.. Much love," he posted on Twitter.

Bieber also shared a photo of the pair from their 2012 meeting.
