Justin Bieber updates fans on ‘horrific storm’ he’s facing in facial paralysis scare

Justin Bieber described how he his facing a "horrific storm" in his battle with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, but insists he is getting better by the day

Justin Bieber has praised Jesus as he updated fans on his scary facial paralysis diagnosis on Monday.

The singer, 28, revealed on Friday he is suffering from Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which led to him having temporary facial paralysis.

He had uploaded the three-minute-long video to social media after being forced to pull out of a number of up-coming gigs.

But now, in a positive update, the star has told his 241 million Instagram followers he is getting better by the day.

Taking to his Instagram Story, he wrote: "Wanted to share a little bit of how I've been feelin. Each day has gotten better and through all of the discomfort I have found comfort in the one who designed me and knows me.

"I'm reminded he knows all of me. He knows the darkest parts of me that I want no one to know about and he constantly welcomes me into his loving arm."

He continued: "This perspective has given me peace during this horrific storm I'm facing. I know this storm will pass but in the meantime JESUS IS WITH ME."

In his original message, he had asked fans to pray for him and his health.

He said at the time: "Been getting progressively harder to eat which has been extremely frustrating. Please pray for me."

The scary syndrome was caused by a virus that attacks the nerve in his ear and his facial nerves.

He said in the video clip: "As you can see, this eye is not blinking. I can’t smile on this side of my face. This nostril will not move, so there’s full paralysis on this side of my face."

He proved his point by trying to flash a smile and to blink while recording.

Unfortunately, only one side of the hitmaker's face responded, with the other side staying still.

He added: "So for those who are frustrated by my cancelations of the next shows, I’m just physically, obviously not able of doing them. This is pretty serious as you can see. "I wish this wasn’t the case but obviously my body is telling me I gotta slow down. "I hope you guys understand, and I’ll be using this time to just rest and relax and get back to 100% so I can do what I was born to do. But in the meantime, this ain’t it."
