Bieber, 30, was one of the many celebrities to post about Payne since he unexpectedly died in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on Wednesday. He was 31.
The One Direction star’s body was recovered outside of the CasaSur Palermo Hotel after he fell from a third-floor balcony.
According to BBC, toxicology results showed the pop star had several drugs, including cocaine and crack, in his system.

Sources told the outlet an aluminum pipe — assumed to be used to ingest the substances — was found in Payne’s destroyed hotel room along with alcohol and other controlled substances.
Local investigators, however, previously told TMZ they think the “Night Changes” star was high on “cristal,” which can lead users to become aggressive.
Per a preliminary autopsy report, Payne’s death was immediate and he suffered several traumas.

Ahead of his death, several eyewitnesses claimed the “X-Factor” alum was behaving erratically and smashing his laptop in the hotel lobby.
Payne, who had a history of mental health issues and addiction, was vacationing in Argentina with his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, but she left the country without him days before he died.
The 25-year-old influencer mourned her boyfriend of two years via Instagram Friday with a sweet tribute that read, “Liam, my angel. You are everything.”

“I want you to know I loved you unconditionally and completely. I will continue to love you for the rest of my life. I love you Liam.”
Payne’s One Direction bandmates Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik also reflected on his passing.
On Saturday, Malik postponed the US leg of his tour in light of the loss.
