Miley Cyrus Receives Hollywood Walk of Fame Star

On Friday, Miley Cyrus was presented with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, joining boulevard’s roster of icons. Attendees included mother Tish Cyrus, sister Brandi Cyrus, and fiancé Maxx Morando; father Billy Ray Cyrus was absent. Anya Taylor-Joy and Donatella Versace offered tributes, and ceremony aligned with promotion of Cyrus’s album *Something Beautiful* and its track “Walk of Fame.”

Cyrus’s star arrives a year after releasing *Something Beautiful*, which features the song “Walk of Fame.” The track, co-written with Alabama Shakes frontwoman Brittany Howard, ends with Howard singing “You’ll live forever.” The album shows Cyrus rolling across the star-lined sidewalk, linking honor to song’s imagery.

Cyrus’s parents divorced in 2022. Mother Tish married actor Dominic Purcell that year; Billy Ray Cyrus was briefly engaged to Australian musician Firerose, split with her in May 2024, and is now dating actress Elizabeth Hurley. The siblings unfollowed each other on Instagram, and Cyrus did not thank her father after winning Record of the Year at 2024 Grammys, tension despite a May-year Instagram story suggesting reconciliation.

In her acceptance speech, Cyrus thanked family, collaborators, and fans, calling the star “an accumulation of devotion” and noting it is not a trophy but a sign of creative effort. She vowed to keep “the cycle of creation” alive for generations. In a New York Times interview she said “timing is everything” and explained she now respects her parents as individuals, acknowledging her mother’s hurt and her father’s happiness.

Sources differ on Billy Ray’s involvement: a May Instagram post suggested a birthday celebration with son Braison, yet the Walk of Fame ceremony confirmed his absence. Reports also vary on his relationship timeline, noting an engagement to Firerose, a May 2024 split, and a partnership with Elizabeth Hurley. The ceremony’s exact date beyond “Friday” is not specified.

• “I think timing is everything. As I’ve gotten older, I’m respecting my parents as individuals instead of as parents—because my mom’s really loved my dad for her whole life, and I think being married to someone in the music industry and not being a part of it is obviously really hard,” — Miley Cyrus, New York Times interview
