Miley Cyrus' family strong after split

Miley Cyrus' family are "stronger than ever".

The 'Hannah Montana' star's father Billy Ray Cyrus revealed last week he and wife Tish had called off their plans for divorce, and now her mother - who also has daughter Noah, 10, and son Braison, 16, with the country singer - has spoken out to thank fans for their support.

Tish wrote on her Facebook page: "Big thanks to all of our family, friends, and fans who have kept us in their thoughts and prayers. I feel so blessed to have so much support from all of you.

"Our family weathered a huge storm and I feel we are stronger than we have ever been. Much love to all of you guys! You're the BEST."

Insiders say that Miley, 18, seems much more at ease since her parents - who have been married for 17 years - called off their plans to divorce.

One source told People.com: "Miley seems happier and more relaxed in the past few days.

"When Tish is having a hard time, Miley spends more time with her. Now the divorce is called off, Tish is doing better and Miley is getting her life back."

As well as her children with Billy Ray - who has a son, Christopher, from a relationship with Kristin Luckey - Tish also has kids Brandon and Trace from her previous marriage, who the country singer has legally adopted.
