Justin Bieber pays tribute to "beautiful" mother

Justin Bieber insists his mother is the most beautiful person he knows as she has "sacrificed everything" for him.

The international superstar's mom Pattie Mallette split from Bieber's father Jeremy soon after his birth, and raised him with the help of her mother and stepfather.

Bieber has paid tribute to his mother for always supporting his dreams.

When asked by Top of the Pops magazine who is the most beautiful person he knows, the star gushed: ''My mother - she has sacrificed everything to raise me and help me get to where I am today. She has always put her family first and I think that is so beautiful.

He added: ''Beauty comes from within. For me, it's about being a kind person who cares about the world around you.''

Bieber also spoke about his insecurities in the interview.

He explained: ''Like every 19 year old, I'm figuring out who I am and who I want to be.

''I get self-conscious and insecure just like everyone else, but as long as you can believe in yourself, you can overcome it.'' Watch Bieber on tour earlier this year here:
