Let $B$ be a point on a circle $k_1, A \ne B$ be a point on the tangent to the circle at $B$, and $C$ a point not lying on $k_1$ for which the segment $AC$ meets $k_1$ at two distinct points. Circle $k_2$ is tangent to line $AC$ at $C$ and to $k_1$ at point $D$, and does not lie in the same half-plane as $B$. Prove that the circumcenter of triangle $BCD$ lies on the circumcircle of $\vartriangle ABC$
