Miley Cyrus was left in tears while she spoke about her relationship with her father, Billy Ray Cyrus.
The 'Wrecking Ball' singer shot to fame with her dad alongside her, as she starred in the Disney series Hannah Montana.
Appearing as her dad in the programme too, Billy Ray and Miley have often had a close bond, though it hasn't always been sunshine and rainbows.
Despite all of her music success in recent years, Miley has suffered heartbreak in recent times, including the divorce of her parents, Tish and Billy Ray.

Just months after that divorce was finalized, Billy Ray announced he was engaged to musician Firerose, 34, who is just a few years older than his daughter.
The pair, who actually collaborate on music projects these days, actually met on the set of Hannah Montana back in the day.
However, Billy Ray's new relationship has seemingly put a strain on the father-daughter relationship, with a source close to the family telling The Sun that "there has been some tension with Miley, which is sad to see."

Now, Miley has been speaking about her relationship with her father new ABC show Endless Summer Vacation: Continued (Backyard Sessions).
The interview was actually intended for Miley to promote the release of her new single, 'Used To Be Young'. However, with the uncertainty of her relationship with Billy Ray continuing, it was something that had to be touched on.
Speaking of her dad, Miley said: "My dad grew up the opposite of me.
"I grew up on a sound stage, like, in a house with a family that was super close and all lived under the same roof.

"And I grew up financially stable and emotionally stable, I think, in my relationships also.
"That’s something that my dad didn’t have. I’ve seen how that affects a lot of people that go from having nothing to everything. It’s a really dangerous place."
She added: "So I think that’s where me and my dad’s relationship to fame and success is wildly different.

"Him feeling loved by a big audience impacted him emotionally more than it ever could me.
“When he feels special or important, it’s like healing a childhood wound, and I’ve always been made to feel like a star.
"It makes me emotional," the singer admitted, before she had to stop talking as she teared up.
It was reported last year that Miley and Billy Ray are 'no longer on speaking terms', with Miley even unfollowing her father on Instagram.
