Miley Cyrus, the actress and singer, and daughter of country music star Billy Ray Cyrus, got her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Friday.
The plaque for the Hanna Montana actress and former child star is located on the pavement next to the Madame Tussauds building. Anya Taylor-Joy and fashion designer Donatella Versace were guest speakers.
Hers is the 2,845th star to be given by The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. It is in the Recording category.
She said of the occasion in her Instagram post: “Surrounded by my fans, who I owe it all to & @donatella_versace in Versace of course (same) and @anyataylorjoy in archival Bob Mackie looking like heaven.

“Miley deserves her flowers as she has made a lasting impact on the entertainment industry, and we are thrilled to honor her with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.”
“Generations of young girls have grown up watching her evolve, finding inspiration in her journey and fearless creativity,” said Ana Martinez, Walk of Fame producer.
Where it all began for Miley Cyrus
Cyrus’s introduction into the industry was as Hanna Montana, a Disney Channel tween character who led a double life as a scholar by day, turned popstar after hours. The success of the show earned her a cult following of teenage girls across the globe.
She seamlessly morphed from a child star to an adult star, creating hits that earned her the respect of the music industry.
She is a three-time Golden Globe nominee and Grammy Award winner for Record of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance for her hit song Flowers.
These are just a few of Cyrus’s accolades, who continues to reinvent herself with the times to maintain her staying power as an entertainer.
