Miley Cyrus Reflects on Malibu Fire, Growth

Miley Cyrus has called the 2018 Woolsey Fire that destroyed her Malibu home, which she shared with then-husband Liam Hemsworth, the biggest blessing of her life. The $2.52 million property was destroyed just weeks before their marriage, and Cyrus reflected that the loss of her home and the subsequent end of many relationships, including her divorce from Hemsworth in 2020, led to intentional rebuilding in her life. She recounted the trauma of learning about the fire while filming 'Black Mirror' in South Africa but affirmed her resilience and expressed gratitude for personal growth. Both Cyrus and Hemsworth have since moved on with new partners. At a recent Q&A, she advised embracing dark times for the growth they enable. Cyrus is set to release her ninth studio album, 'Something Beautiful,' in May 2024.
