Justin Bieber has paid a visit to Selena Gomez's mother as she recovers from a miscarriage.

Disney star Gomez revealed last month (Nov11) that her mother Mandy Teefey was expecting a sibling for the star, but tragedy struck on Friday (16Dec11) and she lost the child.

The singer/actress axed two Christmas concerts over the weekend (17-18Dec11) to be with her mum and Bieber stopped by Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on Monday afternoon (19Dec11) to check in on his girlfriend and her mother, reports X17online.com.

Gomez is expected to return to the stage on New Year's Eve (31Dec11) when she will perform at a big concert in New York. Bieber and Gomez's pal Demi Lovato are also on the bill for the live MTV special.
