Ever since his supermullet “Achy Breaky Heart” days, Billy Ray Cyrus Billy Ray Cyrus has struggled with the press, however he’s happy to talk about his daughter Miley Cyrus’ Miley Cyrus' recent racy streak.

During an interview with “Entertainment Tonight,” the proud papa shared his relief seeing the “Party In The USA” songstress’ state of mind since breaking up with fiancé Liam Hemsworth.

"All I know for sure is I heard my daughter say today she's the happiest she's ever been in her life immediately following [the breakup.] That's when I saw Miley being so happy.”

"Somewhere along the stress and strain of different things I didn't see her smiling as often for a little while and all of a sudden she's like the sun, and when she smiles it's light. Everything happens for a reason and the main thing for me, as Miley's daddy, is she's happy."

Billy Ray also gave an update on his showbiz family- "I've really enjoyed the time I've been allowed to spend with Noah lately. I've never known normal. Miley's never known normal. Noah might be [the closest] to all of our children as knowing normal and even that's quite sad to say, because let's think about her world right now. It's anything but normal."

Following Miley’s “Today” show performance, Cyrus tweeted, “Wanna know how I feel as a Father?Just heard my daughter say@MileyCyrus ‘I'm the happiest I've ever been in my whole life.’ All I ever wanted.”
