In an emotional tribute shared on social media, she wrote, “The feeling of losing my Aunt Dolly is beyond what feels right to share.”
“Our most sacred moments were private and they’ll stay there behind the stage, beneath the glamour & between our hearts,” Miley continued.
She then revealed what she believed Dolly would have wanted from her during such a painful moment.
“What I KNOW is Dolly would want me to feel it, write a song about it, and then continue on and be strong,” she wrote.
“I have an angel by my side. I always have.”
Perhaps most significantly, Miley revealed that one of her final conversations with Dolly had been about “music and metamorphosis.”
“I will always love her and want to make her proud,” Miley continued. “My heart breaks for the world, her family and friends who will miss her deeply.”
“We’re in this loss together and we will see her in all of the most beautiful things.”
