This is not the first time the singer has shared positive messages with Twitter followers amid public scrutiny.
"YOU ARE ALL WORTHY NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE SAYS," Bieber tweeted recently. "BE STRONG GOD IS WITH US ALL> MY BELIEBERS CHANGED MY LIFE> I WILL FOREVER BE GRATEFUL."
Despite the media scrutiny that he has been receiving a number of Bieber's music industry peers have been supporting him publicly.
Ariana Grande, the 20-year-old singer who toured with Bieber last year, recently spoke to the radio station MIX 104.1 about people being too harsh when joking about the singer's legal troubles.
"I think it's really serious. I've seen tweets of people making fun of the mug shot and all this stuff, and it's so ignorant," she said. "It's gotten to a point where I just want him to be okay. It's this very serious thing. And it's not just like a kid who's, you know, screwing around. It's dangerous. It's very serious and upsetting."
Grande's ex-boyfriend and fellow singer Nathan Sykes of The Wanted took to Twitter to publicly speak well of Bieber.
"Gotta take a moment to say, people talk about @justinbieber's personal life so much they forget how talented he actually is," Sykes tweeted. "Genuinely a fan."
A number of music industry veterans like Backstreet Boys' AJ McLean said he was interested in mentoring Bieber.
"This could be a cry for help for all we know," McLean told People. "Obviously he has to go through what he's going through, and hopefully he comes out the other end a better, stronger human being."
