What helped Miley Cyrus heal during heartbreaking phase?

Miley Cyrus lost her California home to a tragic fire just weeks before her wedding.

The Malibu home, which she shared with her former partner Liam Hemsworth, was turned into ashes in the 2018 Woolsey Fire.

At the time, the Flowers crooner was in South Africa filming an episode of Black Mirror.

During an interview in September, Miley said, "I’ve been working on a rebuild. I lost my house in the Woolsey Fire and have been rebuilding now for the last five years. It looks like it’s going to be all ready for me in the next couple of weeks."

The 33-year-old vocalist now revealed that her recent track Dream As One for the new movie Avatar: Fire and Ash was partly inspired by her own loss. The film's story that features a tribe of people whose home is destroyed by a volcanic eruption.

The Flowers crooner told Variety, "It’s literally part of my life. Losing my home, rebuilding from the ground up, having this real, like Phoenix resilience ...

The pop star explained her experience, saying, "Living through it is the only way to fully understand what everyone goes through. And even if you’ve gone through it yourself, everybody has such a unique experience with loss.

"With my house, I had lived there for five years, and there’s people who have been living in their houses for 50 years. Everything they’ve ever had, every picture, everything that’s ever had an emotional sentiment to them, is gone."

She further continued, "Anytime I get to put something that I’ve experienced somewhere that gets to help other people, that’s really the medicine in music. It’s the truest healer."

However, the songstress still went on to marry Liam just a month later, but the marriage lasted only a year.

Previously, the star shared that the house held a lot of special memories for her as she recorded her 2007 album Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus.

In a TikTok series in 2023, Miley reflected the deep creative connection with the house and marked the lyrical history.

However, Miley was able to see the positives in losing her home despite the unexpected turnout because it forced her to rethink her lifestyle.

She told People earlier this year, "When my house burned down, that was the biggest blessing I've ever had in my life, actually.

"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.

Notably, she stated that the tragedy led her to such magic and taught her so much about gratitude.
