Justin Bieber may have been going through a bit of a rough patch lately, but the teen heartthrob can rest assured his grandparents will always have his back!

Speaking to Canada's CTV News Ottowa, Biebs' grandmother Diane Dale defended the Boyfriend singer and admitted she feels bad about the paparazzi's invasion of his private life.

Dale said: "It's totally crazy. I feel sorry for Justin all the time because paparazzi pick on him all the time.

She continued: "Anybody else's kids have done the same thing but nobody says anything.”

Justin's Grandpa Bruce Dale was also on hand to back him up.

He added: "He's just a 19-year-old boy - and before you criticise him, say, 'What is my 19-year-old boy doing?'"

Biebs has been in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons lately, most recently for being caught on film urinating into a mop bucket.

The Baby star is currently in Canada performing shows as part of his Believe World Tour.
