Trace Cyrus took to social media to criticize comments made by his dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, amid the pair's ongoing online drama

Over the years, the Cyrus family has made headlines for a number of reasons, and more recently, it’s the brood’s patriarch and one of his children who have made the news. 35-year-old Trace Cyrus recently penned an open letter to adopted father Billy Ray Cyrus,

Trace Cyrus is doubling down on his concerns about his father Billy Ray Cyrus, whom he alleges threatened him with legal action after a public plea.

Trace, who is sober, penned a lengthy open letter last week revealing that he and his loved ones are “genuinely worried” about the country star.

Trace Cyrus, brother of Miley Cyrus and son of Bill Ray Cyrus, wrote on social media Saturday that his father threatened legal action against him following a plea for Billy Ray to get help.

Controversy erupted over the “Achy Breaky Heart” singer’s performance at the inauguration of US president Donald Trump, which many viewers branded an “epic disaster”. During the show, Billy Ray appeared to suffer from technical issues and at one point asked the sound crew if they just wanted him to “get the hell off the stage”.

Trace Cyrus wrote an open letter to his dad Billy Ray Cyrus on Instagram saying he "barely" recognizes the man he once idolized.

The Cyrus family may be filled with achy breaky hearts. Back in June 2024, Billy Ray Cyrus reportedly filed for divorce from fellow singer Firerose after seven short months. Recently, Miley Cyrus seemingly doubled down on her decision to remain “no contact” with her famous father. Now, Trace Cyrus has damning claims of his own.

Firerose joins Trace Cyrus in speaking out about the country singer's condition following his "disaster" performance.

The Cyrus family are apparently in a bit of a rift after Trace Cyrus said he is 'genuinely worried' about his dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, who is also the father to Grammy-Award winning artist Miley Cyrus, Noah Cyrus, Braison Cyrus, Brandi Cyrus, and Christopher Cyrus.

Billy Ray has now posted a short video to YouTube from his 2008 track “Somebody Say a Prayer”, along with a caption that seemed to address his family strife. “Sunday callin,” he wrote. “Giving thanks for the California rain. Praying for the brokenhearted and their pain. Praying for my family. For my children… sons and daughters… and their mother.
