YouTuber Jake Paul has denied taking part in looting following a protest against racial inequality in Scottsdale, Arizona.
The 23-year-old says he was only there to film content for his 20 million YouTube followers.
Photos and videos seen on social media appear to show Paul, whose estimated wealth is more than $11m (£8.8m), inside the Arizona shopping centre as it is being looted.
“Neither I nor anyone in our group was involved in any looting or vandalism,” he wrote on Twitter and Instagram.
Twelve people were arrested at Scottsdale Fashion Square after “millions of dollars of damages and theft” took place inside shops.
“We filmed everything we saw in an effort to share our experience and bring more attention to the anger felt in every neighbourhood we travelled through,” Paul wrote.
