Justin Bieber has been ordered to pay $80,000 after he egged his former neighbour's home.
The 'Boyfriend' hitmaker - who was accused of criminal vandalism and causing more than $20,000 worth of damage to a resident's home in Calabasas, California, after he pelted eggs at the property earlier this year - has been told to pay the victim the staggering sum in damages, reports TMZ.
A judge also previously ruled that the 20-year-old singer take steps to control his temper and ordered Justin to attend 12 anger management classes as well as complete six days of community labour.
The star - who is in the middle of a two-year probation for his part in the incident - has continued to run into trouble with the law following the egging and even caused police to visit his home six times in just one weekend over the summer after his neighbour's alerted them to his wild parties.
The force even advised Justin's neighbours to place him under citizen's arrest if he disturbs them again.
The 'Beauty and the Beat' singer wasn't cited during the weekend long party as he complied with police and agreed to turn the music down, although any further incidents could have serious consequences for him.
An insider explained at the time: "If the Beverly Hills Police Department cites Justin, they will forward the matter to the Los Angeles County Probation Department, which could trigger a probation violation and then he's in jail territory."

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini has admitted she likes to go home and "turn the world off" on a daily basis.
The 31-year-old singer - who married her second husband Jean-Bernard Versini in July - insists she has "grown as a person" since her short break from showbusiness but since delving back into the fast-paced industry she enjoys chilling out of an evening by putting some music on and relaxing.
Speaking in a Beats by Dr. Dre exclusive film, which premieres her latest track 'Fight On' from her fourth studio album 'Only Human', she said: "I feel like I've really grown as a person over the past couple of years since I've been away.
"Even in the eye of the storm you need moments alone to think and gather your thoughts. Music helps me do that.
"All I want to do at the end of the day is put the music on and turn the world off."
Cheryl - who divorced footballer Ashley Cole in 2010 - returned to 'The X Factor' this year after a break from the spotlight, and she admits her life is in a "great place" at the moment and she approaches everything without any fear.
She added: "I feel instinctive. I'm not afraid. I'm prepared to go for it with no fear.
"I feel comfortable in my own skin, I know who I am. I know what I want, I know exactly what I don't want. I'm in a great place as a woman."
The video is shot in a variety of locations throughout a week in Cheryl's life and sees her using music at every touch-point - rehearsing at a dance studio, getting motivated while waiting for a photoshoot and relaxing on her way home.
Cheryl has been a long term fan of Beats and in the film is seen wearing Grey Solo2's, White Powerbeats Wireless, Red Urbeats and rehearsing using a black Pill XL. All products are available at beatsbydre.com

Madonna's wedding dress from her nuptials to Sean Penn sold for $81,250 at auction.
A collection of items once worn by the 'Material Girl' singer were sold at Julien's Auctions' Icons & Idols: Rock n' Roll charity auction in Beverly Hills at the weekend, and as well as the gown from her 1985 wedding, a number of stage and movie costumes also generated huge sums.
The highest-selling item was the jacket she wore in 1985 movie 'Desperately Seeking Susan', which closed at $252,000, while one earring worn in the movie fetched $34,375.
Other items that went under the hammer included the gown and stole from her 'Material Girl' video, which sold for $73,125, a dress won in 'Evita', which went for $15,000 and the softball uniform donned by the 56-year-old star in her 1992 film 'A League of Their Own', for which the winning bidder paid $31,250.
And it wasn't just fans of the 'Ray of Light' star who could pick up a unique piece of memorabilia at the sale.
A red sequinned cape worn by James Brown sold for $41,600 and a pair of John Lennon's glasses went for $25,000.
A ring worn by Elvis Presley sold for $57,600 and a Gibson J200 guitar owned by Stephen Stills of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, went for $43,750.
Madonna's publicist previously stated the star had no part in the auction, which she did not profit from.
The representative said: "I do not believe any of what is being auctioned off was in Madonna's possession.
"Designers often supply clothes for shoots that are then returned to the designers."

A new species of frog has been named after Ozzy Osbourne.
Scientists working in the Brazilian Amazon discovered the 19.4mm amphibian with a "shrill, batlike call" during a biodiversity survey in 2009 and called the creature Pendropsophus ozzy in honour of the rocker, who infamously bit the head off a bat during a gig in 1982.
One of the scientists working on the study said: "As soon as I heard its call, I knew it was a new species. I had never heard anything like it."
Once the team brought the creature - a species of treefrog with unusually long fingers and toes - back to their lab, they "kept talking about the 'bat frog,' which led to us talking about being fans of Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath."
Ozzy's daughter Kelly, 30, was thrilled by his honour.
Tweeting a link to a National Geographic article about the study, she wrote: "You know you have made it when they name a whole new species of frog after you!!! Congratulations dad @OzzyOsbourne (sic)"
And after her 65-year-old famous father also picked up the Global Icon accolade at the MTV Europe Music Awards (EMAs) in Glasgow last night (09.11.14), she added: "First the frog now this you are on a roll today dad! Congratulations I'm so proud of you! (sic)"

Keira Knightley wears a hat to disguise herself when she goes out and about.
The 29-year-old actress enjoys sporting some headgear when she pops out with her husband James Righton and admitted the pair find it a lot easier to get on with normal activities, such as arguing about who is going to do the shopping, when she is anonymous from celebrity-spotters.
When asked if she puts a hat on to disguise herself when she goes out, she replied: "Yep. That is exactly it, you can hide in a crowd quite easily.
"It's lovely. I love it. [We] can argue about who is doing the shopping. It's great."
While the brunette beauty has a penchant for hats, she wasn't as endeared to the cardigan and shoes she had to wear for her latest movie, 'The Imitation Game', in which she portrays Joan Clarke, the former fiancée of computer scientist Alan Turing (Benedict Cumberbatch), who helped crack Nazi Germany's Enigma code during World War II.
Speaking on ITV's 'Lorraine', she added: "It's all in the cardy [cardigan] and the shoes. The shoes were uncomfortable, that helped, and the cardy ... there's something about that really heavy, itchy knit.
"It was so thoroughly itchy. I suffered for my art, I suffered for my cardigan."
Keira shot to fame as female footballer Jules Paxton in 2002 movie 'Bend it like Beckham' - which told the story of a women's soccer team in London - and the Hollywood star has called for further female sports films to be made because she thinks there aren't enough around.
She said: "I think what is extraordinary is it's still very much on its own in the genre. We don't have many female sports movies. We still don't.
"That was made in 2002 so we're talking over a decade ago. It's amazing that it's still one of the only ones that are about that topic.
"I still get really little girls who are watching it for the first time and loving it and responding to it so much. Where are the girls sports movies?"

Adele, Bono, Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith have signed up for Band Aid 30.
The trio will be joined by several other big names from the world of music, including Sinead O'Connor, Ellie Goulding and Coldplay's Chris Martin, to contribute to a recording of 'Do They Know It's Christmas?', which will celebrate 30 years since the original track was released while also raising vital funds to prevent the spread of Ebola.
At a press conference today (10.11.14), Sir Bob Geldof - who is organising the charity recording for a fourth time - said: "It really doesn't matter if you don't like this song, it really doesn't matter if you hate all the artists. What you have to do is buy this thing."
Recording of the single, which the 63-year-old musician joked was "the worst kept secret this year", will begin this weekend (15.11.14), and will include 'X Factor' alumnus Olly Murs and 'Pompeii' hitmakers, Bastille.
Other famous faces who will appear on the track include Jessie Ware, Foals, Underworld, Fuse ODG and Paloma Faith, while acclaimed artist Tracey Emin will provide the cover art.
U2 frontman Bono will also return for Band Aid 30, having featured in the original recording in 1984 alongside Phil Collins, David Bowie, George Michael and Sting.
The announcement comes just days after One Direction were confirmed to be part of the single.
Bob and Ultravox star Midge Ure also confirmed Rita Ora had been on-board for the fourth rendition of the track, but has since had to pull out due to contractual agreements with the BBC linked to her role as a mentor on 'The Voice'.
The single is set to be released on November 17, but Bob revealed the track will not appear on streaming websites until the new year, claiming "I'm a Taylor Swiftian."
It comes after Taylor Swift pulled her albums from music streaming service Spotify.

The Cranberries singer Dolores O'Riordan has been taken to hospital after being arrested this morning (10.11.14).
The 43-year-old star was arrested after allegedly assaulting a female flight attendant and a police officer on an Aer Lingus flight from New York JFK which arrived early this morning in Shannon, County Clare, Ireland.
A spokesman for Aer Lingus is quoted by Irish broadcaster RTE News as saying: "An incident took place on board flight EI110 en route from New York to Shannon today.
"The matter is being investigated by An Garda Síochána. As this is a security matter we will not comment any further."
Following the alleged incident, Dolores was taken to University Hospital Limerick after being medically assessed by a doctor at Shannon Garda Station.
The air hostess was said to have been taken to Mid-Western Regional Hospital but the police officer wasn't thought to have been seriously hurt.
Dolores shot to fame in the 1990s as lead singer of the Irish group, who became a worldwide success, with albums such as 1993's 'Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?' and 1994's 'No Need to Argue', and have sold more than 40 million albums across the globe.
She has three children, son Taylor, 16, and daughters Molly, 13, and nine-year-old Dakota with her husband, former Duran Duran tour manager Don Burton, who she married in 1994.

Usher is in awe of his son's imagination.
The 'OMG' hitmaker loves reading to seven-year-old Usher V and five-year-old Naviyd - his kids with ex-wife Tameka Foster - and is fascinated by how his youngest boy in particular develops his interest in the stories.
He said: "They're just getting to that age where they're bringing me books that they want to read, as opposed to me just reading to them. When they were two or three I could use my imagination to tell them a story, but now, to see their imagination come off the page, or they get inspired by something and they go in the corner and look at the pictures ... that right there is the exciting part.
"They're developing their personalities through what they read. They're so imaginative. Especially Naviyd, more than Usher. Oh my God, he has such an active imagination."
The 36-year-old star particularly enjoys reading scary stories with his sons.
Asked by Vulture.com what they like to read, he said: "Anything Scooby-Doo. I've also really come to appreciate those books with the pen ... Leap Frog! And spooky kid stuff. They love scary books."
