Miley Cyrus has become the youngest person to be named a Disney Legend at the D23 fan event in Anaheim, California, where she delivered an emotional speech. Reflecting on her journey from her role in 'Hannah Montana' to her later career, Cyrus joked about her rebellious phase post-2011, attributing it to a 'malfunction' between 2013 and 2016. She expressed pride in her role as Hannah Montana, dedicating the award to her character and loyal fans, and emphasized the impact the role had on her life. Cyrus joins other honorees like Angela Bassett, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Harrison Ford in receiving the accolade, which celebrates significant contributions to Disney. Bob Iger, Disney's CEO, highlighted the importance of the Disney Legends Award as the company's highest honor.
