LOS ANGELES - THE father of teen star Miley Cyrus said the Disney TV show Hannah Montana that made her a worldwide star, in truth destroyed his family, and he blamed it for sending his daughter out of control.
Country singer Billy Ray Cyrus said he was scared for 18 year-old Miley after a series of scandals including an infamous video last year which showed her getting high on the psychedelic herb salvia.
And he said he wished that Hannah Montana had never happened.
'The damn show destroyed my family,' Cyrus told GQ magazine in an interview for its March edition. 'I'd take it back in a second. For my family to be here and just everybody be okay, safe and sound and happy and normal would have been fantastic.' Cyrus, 49, played father to his daughter on Hannah Montana - a wholesome Disney Channel show about a normal teenager by day but a singing star at night - that launched Miley Cyrus as a teen idol and top-selling recording artist.
Cyrus compared his daughter's current situation to celebrities like Kurt Cobain, Anna Nicole Smith and Michael Jackson, who all died in tragic circumstances.
'I'm scared for her,' Cyrus said of Miley. 'She's got a lot of people around her that's putting her in a great deal of danger. I know she's 18 but I still feel like, as her daddy, I'd like to try to help. Take care of her just a little bit, to at least get her out of danger.' he said. -- REUTERS
