Help Back-facing camera stopped working

The back-facing camera (the reular one) on my phone stopped working. Whenever I try and open my basic camera app, my phone freezes and I get a message saying that my camera stopped working. I know the front facing camera is still working because I can access it through snap chat. I have tried accessing my back-facing camera through snap chat and the same error happens.

Any help on how to get it working again would be much appreciated.

(I've tried rebooting my phone and taking the battery out for some period of time)

Edit: I did not have the jelly bean update at the time of this error. I will get the update then post if anything has changed
