How to restore my camera tile on the start page

My Windows phone 8.1 (Microsoft) accidently deleted my camera tile, and I don't have it listed with my apps to restore it. How can I get the tile back and use my camera?

Re: How to restore my camera tile on the start page

Which phone do you have? Some phones have a dedicated camera button on the side. Pressing that (short or long press) will start the camera..

If the camera app is still on your phone, it will be in the "all apps list" (swipe right from startscreen to access this list).

If the camera app is deleted, you can head into the store and download it or another camera app
