Miley Cyrus reflected on the ‘dark time’ when she and ex-husband Liam Hemsworth lost her $2.525M four-bedroom Malibu house in the 2018 Woolsey Fire one month before they got married.
‘When my house burned down, that was the biggest blessing I’ve ever had in my life, actually,’ the 32-year-old pop star said during a Q&A at her Something Beautiful event Tuesday, according to People.
‘Losing everything and being able to rebuild, and to be able to be purposeful and choose every piece that I’m gonna collect or also just about the people in my life.
‘And I guess for me, when my house burned down, a lot of my relationships also burned down, and that again just led me to such magic and to have so much gratitude.’
Indeed, Miley (born Destiny) and the Australian 35-year-old – who previously split from 2013-2016 – divorced just eight months later in 2020.

‘I think what I would have told my younger self is to appreciate those darker times because, like I said, they are only leading you into the light,’ Cyrus noted onstage Manhattan’s Metrograph.
The three-time Grammy winner had recorded her first album in 2005 at Rainbowland recording studio located on the two-acre compound.
In 2023, Miley revealed she suffered anxiety attacks at the memory because she was on the South African set of Netflix’s Black Mirror when she heard her two-story home was destroyed.
‘Actually as my house was burning down I was strapped to a gurney with my hands locked in handcuffs strapped to a bed,’ Cyrus recalled on TikTok.
The very next day, the More to Lose songstress had to film her pop star character Ashley O’s dance-filled On a Roll music video, shrugging: ‘The show must go on!’
In 2021, Miley began dating Liily drummer Maxx Morando, who’s one of the eight producers credited on her upcoming album.
Cyrus’ ninth studio album Something Beautiful drops May 30 followed by the Tribeca Film Festival world premiere of the ‘visual’ film version on June 6 at the Beacon Theatre in Manhattan.
The Beautiful That Way singer – who quit touring in 2023 – gushed: ‘This album has to start with me loving it and then the love that I have for it, whether you know it or not, it’s gonna be coming through the speakers when you’re listening.’
Meanwhile, Liam is still going strong with his girlfriend since 2019, Australian model Gabriella Brooks.
