LOS ANGELES (AP) -

Police say a paparazzo was hit by a car and killed after taking photos of Justin Bieber's Ferrari sports car in Los Angeles.
    
Los Angeles police Officer James Stoughton says the man died at a hospital Tuesday evening. Stoughton says Bieber was not in the car at the time.
    
Sgt. Rudy Lopez told the Los Angeles Times (http://lat.ms/ZTtuCt ) that the pop star's friend was driving the car when it was pulled over for a traffic stop. It was parked on a busy street when the photographer arrived.
    
Police say the man was struck by a car as he returned to his own car.
    
Stoughton says no charges are expected against the motorist who hit the man.
    
A call to a Bieber publicist was not immediately returned.
