Justin Bieber accidentally gave away his recently won MuchMusic Award to a fan, according to TMZ.

The teen star picked up the UR Fave Artist award at the event in Toronto on Sunday (June 17).

However, the website reports that when Bieber left the stage with his award, he was accosted by a number of enthusiastic fans.

They say one fan grabbed onto his award so hard that Bieber thought it was an official from the ceremony - and that she would later give back the award.

A representative for the Canadian told TMZ that he "feels bad for getting the girl's hopes up" and that he would like to give her a replica award, once the real one has been returned.
