Justin Bieber has left Panama!

The 19-year-old pop star, who was busted for a DUI while drag racing in Miami last week before heading to Panama for a few days of rest and relaxation, has left the Central American country and is on a plane home to L.A. with manager Scooter Braun, a source confirms to E! News. Bieber was also snapped rushing through the Panama International Airport earlier today surrounded by his entourage. The Biebs flashed a smirk while being snapped by photogs in the terminal.

In addition to the travel news, a source tells us that Bieber isn't letting all the negative media attention get him down. "Justin is doing OK right now," a source tells E! News exclusively. "He's with friends and family. That's what is most important now, being surrounded by family and his closest friends."

Additionally, another source tells E! News that Bieber's mom, Pattie Mallette, is coping the best she can given the recent circumstances.

"Pattie is being a mom, putting her son's best interests first, whatever that means at any time," the source says. "There are things being said all over, but she is with him when he needs her and will always be there for him. She would never do anything to bring harm to him."

Over the weekend, E! News learned that Bieber was joined by his mentor Usher and Braun down in Panama. Bieber's new lady friend Chantel Jeffries was also with him. The "Boyfriend" singer has been spotted hitting the beach and riding a four-wheeler while on vacation.

Bieber also tweeted the other day, "YOU ARE ALL WORTHY NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE SAYS >> BE STRONG GOD IS WITH US ALL> MY BELIEBERS CHANGED MY LIFE> I WILL FOREVER BE GRATEFUL."

Reps for the singer continue to not comment on Bieber's Panama trip and DUI drama.

Earlier today, it was also reported that the Biebs is planning on selling his Calabasas home following the infamous egging incident and the recent police raid of this house. While reps for the singer declined to comment on the moving rumors, Bieber's home is not currently listed for sale on the market.
