Miley Cyrus has revealed how she hid the money she spent on drugs from her accountant.

Aside from having a famous father, the 'Party in the USA' hitmaker has been in the limelight in her own right since the age of 13 when she landed a role in Disney series Hannah Montana, which first aired in 2006.

Fast forward to today and Cyrus is one of the most famous people on the planet and hit a huge milestone last year when she won her first Grammy for her song 'Flowers'.

But, as many child stars will tell you, becoming famous at such a young age comes with its hardships. From Macaulay Culkin and Amanda Bynes, to Lindsay Lohan and Drew Barrymore, a number of celebs who shot to fame while they were young struggled with substance abuse at one time in their lives.

Cyrus had been another one of those celebrities, but she's now been sober for some time.

Speaking to Zane Lowe back in 2020, Cyrus said: "I don’t think that everyone has to be sober, everyone has to do what’s best for them."

She went on: "I don’t have a problem with drinking, I have a problem with the decisions I make once I go past [a certain] level. I’ve just been wanting to wake up 100 percent, 100 percent of the time."

It was around the time that Cyrus released her album Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz in 2015 that she was using drugs.

During this period, she had to hide her drug spending from her accountant - and found a pretty unique way of doing so.

"The drugs were the biggest cost, which to hide those from my accountant, we called them vintage clothes," she revealed on a recent episode of the Every Single Album podcast. "And so she would get these checks. That happens on touring all the time."

Cyrus continued to recall: "Every time she saw me, she'd be like, ‘Where's that, like, $15,000 original John Lennon T-shirt that you bought?’ It's like, ‘Oh, it's upstairs. We just really want to protect it. It's really delicate’."

"I bought a lot of vintage clothes that year," she added.

The 32-year-old went on to share how pleased she is to have gotten through that difficult period, saying: "I'm so glad I survived that time in my life. I would definitely not encourage anyone else to go this hard, but the fact that I got through it, I'm very glad I got to do it."
