Miley’s dad tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY that she’s shaken by the loss — we can totally relate.
Whitney Houston‘s death has shocked up the music world, and superstar Miley Cyrus is no exception.
The death of 48-year-old Whitney hit Miley, 19, very hard. HollywoodLife.com spoke EXCLUSIVELY to her father Billy Ray Cyrus at the 2012 Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Feb. 12, and he said that the news is definitely resonating in the Cyrus household.
“She feels sad about the loss,” he said. “She was also very close to Etta James. She was a big influence to Miley. There were a lot of great memories.”
We wish Whitney’s family the best during this difficult time.

I beg to differ but I heard Billy Ray say the exact same thing to E when he was on the red carpet. So that is not exclusive at all!!

You’re an idiot. First, Miley didn’t say anything. Billy Ray did. 2nd, a lot of celebrities say they are devastated, go call them out. Just another Miley hater, get a life. You don’t know if Miley was a big fan. After all she grew up with her father knowing so many different singers. Sir Paul McCartney taught her to play guitar with her left hand.

no cindy.. anonymous is not an idiot. when i first read this i thought the exact same thing. wow way to make this on you. if that family had an respect towards whitney they would have said my FAMILY is mourning the loss of Whitney. our prayers go out to her family. that would have been more appropriate.

Neither response is inappropriate or disrespectful to whitney. Don’t get mad at Miley Cyrus for something her dad said. Anonymous is an idiot and you are too.

Lol…While Billy Ray Cyrus was telling us how devasted Miley Cyrus was, she’s photographed shopping checking out of COSCO with at least 5 cases of Corona beers will the sheepherder and her gay friend. Poor girl can’t catch a break. While her Dad is trying to cover for her in a respectful manner, she’s demonstrating that she is still 19 and infantile. I was exactly the same way. We all are at that age. But I enjoyed all of your wisdom, it made me chuckle!
