Bieber, 17, is openly very close to his grandparents but has not posted on the accident.

A source close to the Bieber family told MailOnline on Wednesday that the Canadian singer’s grandparents are “OK.”

Bieber’s grandparents, Bruce and Diane Dale, helped the single-mother Mallette raise her now successful son when she became pregnant as a teen.

Earlier this week, Justin Bieber was announced as the most searched for person on the Microsoft Search Engine, Bing, for 2011.
