Miley Cyrus cries as she receives star on Hollywood Walk of Fame

Miley Cyrus became visibly emotional, shedding tears as she accepted her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame during a ceremony on May 22 in Los Angeles. The singer, dressed in a sheer Versace gown, was surrounded by family and friends who came to celebrate the milestone in her 20-year career.

My dad used to say that a skyscraper starts with a drill bit, and so does a star on the Walk of Fame. It's not about the strength but the repetition.

During her acceptance speech, Cyrus shared that she doesn't see the star as a prize to be pursued but rather as a testament to her sustained effort and dedication. "A skyscraper starts with a drill bit, and so does a star on the Walk of Fame. It's not about the strength but the repetition," she recalled her father's words, emphasizing the importance of consistent work.

Her mother, Tish Cyrus, and sister, Brandi Cyrus, were present to support her, as was her fiancé, Maxx Morando. Although her father was absent, Cyrus made sure to include him in her remarks. She also expressed deep gratitude to her fans, whom she credited with making her dreams a reality through their unwavering love and support.

“

To my fans, you are the stars that make my dreams come true every day with your love and support, and I am grateful to you.

Cyrus hopes her music will continue to inspire future generations, even after she is no longer performing, and that it can evoke genuine emotions amidst a changing world. She reflected on the lessons learned from her role as Hannah Montana, stating it taught her a great deal throughout her life. The star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame marks a significant achievement, recognizing her journey in the music industry, which began with her early rise to fame on the Disney Channel series.

Thank you for loving and supporting not only the choices I make but also my fears and facing them with me. Today is something I will never forget and will always cherish. I love you all very much.
