Justin Bieber Twitter Update: 'Confident' Singer Pays Tribute to Super Fan Who Died in Car Crash
Justin Bieber may like to party and be a not-so-great influence on his on-again/off-again girlfriend, Selena Gomez, but he recently showed he has a big heart in spite of his scandalous lifestyle.
StarPulse reported that on Sunday, the 20-year-old pop star paid tribute to one of his fans who died in a car crash on the night of July 4. Bieber tweeted the hashtag #RIPAlicia.
Alicia Tamboia was reportedly a super fan of Justin Bieber and often went to Bieber's shows to support and get the chance to meet the "Confident" singer.
Hollywood Life reported that Alicia had met the Biebs at least five times during the past five years through meet-and-greets and after the singer's concerts.
Tamboia, 24, died in a multivehicle crash in New York, as did the other passenger in the car, Cody Veverka.
Tyler Pascuzzi was driving the vehicle in which Tamboia was a passenger. He was reportedly speeding.
While speeding, Pascuzzi lost control of the car and hit another car before crashing into a tractor-trailer, StarPulse reported. Pascuzzi's vehicle was found split in half at the scene.
Hours after the tragedy, Bieber fans joined together online to tweet the hashtag #RIPAlicia. They also posted pictures of Alicia and Justin at several meet-and-greets, and eventually, the hashtag became trending on Twitter.
Prior to her death, Alicia Tamboia dedicated her social media accounts to Bieber, her favorite singer, Hollywood Life reported.
Tamboia loved Bieber so much that even her friends and family were in on the admiration. On her last day of work at a job, she reportedly sent her co-workers a farewell email with the statement, "When you hear Justin Bieber, I hope you think of me."
So far, there has been no word from Tamboia's family.
Rest in peace, Alicia Tamboia.
