Billy Ray Cyrus has spoken out after his daughter, Miley, achieved her third Grammys accolade on Sunday (February 2) amid speculation over a family feud.
Miley took home the best country duo/group performance for 'II Most Wanted', a duet with Beyonce, at last night's awards ceremony.
Many were quick to congratulate the Hannah Montana star on her latest win, including her father, Billy Ray.

"Congratulations @mileycyrus and @beyonce on their well-deserved @recordingacademy Grammy wins!" he wrote on social media.
"Couldn't be prouder!!!"
Last year, Miley made all the headlines at the Grammys as fans noticed her father didn't get a mention during her acceptance speech.
It comes after much noise surrounding a family feud, after Trace Cyrus said he is 'genuinely worried' about his dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, who is also the father to singer Miley, Noah Cyrus, Braison Cyrus, Brandi Cyrus, and Christopher Cyrus.
Trace explained his thoughts about the 'Achey Breaky Heart' hitmaker in a heartbreaking public letter on Instagram.
In part, it read: "Sadly the man that I wanted so desperately to be just like I barely recognize now. It seems this world has beaten you down and it’s become obvious to everyone but you."
Trace went on to say Billy Ray has 'pushed' the family away and that his younger sister, Noah, 'deserves better'.
"We are all hanging on to memories of the man we once knew and hoping for the day he returns. You’re not healthy Dad and everyone is noticing it," the former Metro Station guitarist added.
Trace confessed he hadn't spoken to his father in some time, but has since stressed his post came from a place of love despite its harsh-sounding message.
Braison, on the other hand, seems to have a relationship with his father, and has even been working with his on some new music.
"I don't have any bad feelings towards anyone in my family," the 30-year-old told PEOPLE.
"I've spent this past year getting to know my dad better than I ever have," he continued. "I’ve heard stories, jokes and songs that I don’t think anyone else has.
"It’s an opportunity to tell my dad’s story through music and I’m fortunate to be able to take it. Music, stories and family are the most important things to my dad, so to bring the two together is a full circle endeavour."
UNILAD has previously reached out to Billy Ray's representatives for comment regarding the apparent family feud.
