Justin Bieber has said Jesus has given him “peace during this horrific storm” as he continues his recovery from Ramsay Hunt syndrome.

Ramsay Hunt syndrome (RHS) is due to viral reactivation. It is one of 60 causes of facial palsy, or facial paralysis, as it is known in the US.

Now the Sorry hitmaker has revealed “each day has gotten better” as he gave his legion of 241million loyal fans an update on his struggle with Ramsay Hunt syndrome.

“Wanted to share a bit of how I’ve been feelin,” he posted on his Instagram story.

“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 arms. This perspective has given me peace during this horrific storm that I’m facing.

“I know this storm will pass but in the meantime I know Jesus is with me.”

Many of his celebrity friends shared their support on Instagram.

Among them, his wife Hailey Bieber wrote: “I love you baby.”

Previously, he apologised for having to cancel his shows after being struck down with the illness.

“For those frustrated by my cancellations of the next shows, I’m just physically, obviously not capable of doing them,” he said.

“My body’s telling me I’ve got to slow down. I hope you guys understand.”

In March, his wife was rushed to hospital with a blood clot to her brain.

Bieber kicked off his world tour with a 52-date North American leg in 2022, starting in San Diego on February 18.

The North America leg of his world tour is due to end in July.
