But it looks like his patience is wearing thin.</p><p>On Friday morning, the Canadian pop star shared a video on Instagram that shows photographers swarming him outside what appears to be his Los Angeles home. The short clip, which has already racked up millions of views, shows a group of camera-toting men following Bieber and snapping photos as flashbulbs go off nonstop.</p><p>"This has to stop," the 31-year-old wrote in the caption, clearly frustrated. In the video, Bieber can be heard saying, "Look at these guys, man," while another voice repeatedly tells the crowd to "watch out" and "back up."</p><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned="" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/DI23-t1u5tF/" data-instgrm-version="4" style="background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);">

"People have had to die because of this sh*t," he wrote. "Princess Diana is the first that comes to mind."</p><p>Bieber, who's originally from Ontario, lives in L.A. with his wife Hailey and their young son.
