He was with friend Ryan Butler, who he’s known before Bieber was famous, tweeting the Instagram photo to his 40 million followers.

On Twitter, after the photo was shared, “Justin is with Ryan” trending worldwide.

“I get so happy whenever Justin is with Ryan. He’s always laughing, smiling, having fun and having a good time. I love that so much,” wrote one fan. 

Added another, “Justin needs his real friends around him!!! Justin is with Ryan its perfectttt.”

AP update on Bieber’s home search:

CALABASAS, Calif. (AP) — Detectives searched Justin Bieber’s home looking for surveillance footage that might serve as evidence the pop star was involved in an egg-tossing vandalism case that caused thousands of dollars in damage to a neighbor’s home, an official said Tuesday.

Roughly a dozen investigators searched Bieber’s home and arrested one member of the singer’s entourage on suspicion of drug possession, Lt. David Thompson said.

The drug, which was initially described as cocaine but was later being tested to determine its contents, was in plain sight when detectives searched Bieber’s house, Thompson said.

The arrested man was later identified as Lil Za, a rapper whose real name is Xavier Smith.

After being taken to jail, Smith had felony vandalism added to his potential charges and had his bail increased from $20,000 to $70,000 when he damaged a phone on the wall as he was awaiting a bail bondsman, said Lt. Michael Williams of the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station.

Smith was released on bail at about 8:15 p.m., Williams said.

Phone listings for Smith, his representative or relatives could not be found, and sheriff’s officials did not know if he had hired an attorney.

Bieber, 19, was at the home and cooperated with authorities but was not interviewed by detectives. Thompson said he expected the singer to speak with detectives when his attorney could be present.
