Miley Cyrus Says Losing Her House Was The 'Biggest Blessing' Of Her Life
Miley Cyrus is rewriting a painful chapter of her life into something beautiful.
The singer opened up about one of the hardest moments in her life during a Q&A after a screening of her visual album, 'Something Beautiful.'
According to People magazine, a fan asked Cyrus about the advice she would give to her younger self, and the former 'Hannah Montana' had a lot to say.
'When my house burned down, that was the biggest blessing I've ever had in my life, actually,' Cyrus said, according to the outlet.
'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,' she shared. 'And I guess for me, when my house burned down, a lot of my relationships also burned down, and that again just led me to such magic and to have so much gratitude.'
'I think what I would have told my younger self is to appreciate those darker times because, like I said, they are only leading you into the light,' Cyrus added.

The 32-year-old lost her Malibu house in a fire in November 2018, when she was still married to her then-fiancé, Liam Hemsworth. At the time, she said she was 'completely devastated' by the loss.
'I am one of the lucky ones. My animals and LOVE OF MY LIFE made it out safely & that's all that matters right now,' Cyrus said in a message on Instagram after the fires. Cyrus would go on to marry Hemsworth in December, one month after losing her house.
In August 2019, the two had announced their separation, and Hemsworth had filed for divorce. Their divorce was finalized in January 2020.
Cyrus has previously revealed that her house burning down influenced her decision to wed Hemsworth. 'We were together since 16,' the singer said during an appearance on Howard Stern's SiriusXM radio show in 2020.
'I don't know if we really ever thought we were actually going to get married, but when we lost our house in Malibu — which if you listen to my voice pre- and post-fire, they're very different so that trauma really affected my voice,' she said before talking about all she'd lost in the fire.
'I just clung to what I had left of that house, which was me and him,' she continued. 'And I really do and did love him very, very, very much and still do, always will.'

7 Love Islanders who have left the UK as Patsy relocates because she's 'too embarrassed' to work 9 to 5 job
Season 11 Love Island star Patsy Field has revealed that she's planning to move to Australia, as she feels "too embarrassed" to look for a regular 9 to 5 job in the UK a year after appearing on the ITV2 dating show. Speaking in an interview, she said: "I probably will be looking for a job soon, but I'm planning on moving to Australia." She added to The Sun: "A year post-show… I don't know if it comes with a little bit of embarrassment of looking for a normal 9 to 5 job." Patsy wouldn't be the first Islander to pack up her bags and relocate to another country after taking part in the show. Over the years, we've seen many contestants ditch the UK for opportunities overseas. Here's a list of all the Love Islanders who've made the move. Season 11 star Patsy is the latest Islander to join the trend of moving abroad. In a recent interview, she was asked if she considers herself an influencer, to which she responded: "I don't think I'm a very good influencer…I guess at the moment, yeah, you could say influencing — or just fun-employed, I think is the term, isn't it?" She then went on to say that she's planning on moving to Australia to find a job, explaining: "I feel like if I move to the other side of the world and maybe find one over there, I might feel a bit better about it.' Prior to being on Love Island, Andrew worked as an estate agent in Dubai. He returned to the UK after his time on the show and moved in with his girlfriend at the time, Tasha Ghouri. However, since their split he has now returned to Dubai, calling the move a "new start". Season four star Laura Anderson relocated to Dubai with her then-partner Dane Bowers. She's since moved back to the UK and now has a daughter with actor Gary Lucy. She regularly visits Dubai, and took her 16-month-old daughter Bonnie on a trip there earlier this year. Season four star Eyal Booker moved to LA in 2019 with his then-girlfriend Delilah Belle Hamlin. While he still considers London to be his home, he spends a lot of his time stateside and last year he moved into a luxury apartment there with his best friend Max and his girlfriend. Season five star Anton moved to Dubai after appearing on Love Island. He originally went on a brand trip but fell in love with the city, so he splashed out on a Bentley and an apartment. He later returned home to Scotland, calling the decision a "mistake". Speaking in a video, he explained: "After Covid, I got invited on an influencer trip to Dubai. As soon as I got there, I absolutely fell in love with the place - and I never came home. "I bought myself a Bentley, I bought myself an apartment on The Palm and I was absolutely living the dream. Unfortunately, it was all downhill from there." Anton went on to explain how he invested £100,000 in a "gym concept", with plans to open a "nightclub gym". Season seven bombshell Abigail Rawlings has moved to US since appearing on Love Island. She works as a tattoo artist in LA, and judging from her Instagram page, she's having a pretty good time settling in there. Season two star Rachel Fenton returned to nursing after the reality TV show and she's since moved to Dubai, where she's continued her nursing career. New episodes of Love Island air on weekdays and Sundays on ITV2 at 9pm.

Newly single Orlando Bloom posts about loneliness amid split from Katy Perry
Orlando Bloom is in the "posting cryptic things to Instagram" phase of his breakup, and he seems to be feeling lonely? At least based on a Carl Jung quote the actor posted late Wednesday night, which reads: "Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself." Oh, and another quote for all of us to read into (though Orly didn't share this one directly)? "Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness." Rumours of Orlando and Katy's split have been swirling for weeks, and a source recently told People that their relationship has been "breaking down the last couple of months." Oh, and while things are "amicable," they "got to a point where they feel there is no going back to a healthy relationship and that it's better to live separate lives." Another source more recently noted that: "Katy and Orlando have been suffering through the same problems that have plagued them for years. [They had] too much going on in their lives, which makes it hard to find time for each other and iron out disagreements. When they don't communicate properly, their relationship dips to a low level." For what it's worth, neither Katy, Orlando, or their reps have actually confirmed the end of their engagement, things could still work out?

(He has not treated Corcoran.) Given Corcoran's age, Berlet said the extent of the work is 'quite reasonable' and that she 'does not appear overdone.' 3 Barbara Corcoran opened up about all of the aesthetic procedures she's undergone. @barbaracorcoran/Instagram 3 The 'Shark Tank' star confessed to receiving procedures like face-lifts and getting fillers. @barbaracorcoran/Instagram 'Today's procedures can significantly refresh a face without dramatically altering someone's natural identity,' he added. Dr. David Shokrian, a board-certified cosmetic surgeon and founder of Millennial Plastic Surgery in New York City, also applauded Corcoran's transparency. 'Barbara Corcoran's new Instagram post candidly details the plastic surgery procedures she has undergone throughout her life to maintain her youthful appearance,' Shokrian, who also has not treated Corcoran, told Fox News Digital. 3 Corcoran has invested in over 120 businesses that pitched to her on 'Shark Tank,' according to her website. Getty Images for iHeartMedia 'She emphasizes that consistent upkeep over time is crucial to looking natural rather than waiting for drastic interventions later. Her message highlights that investing steadily in your aesthetic appearance can build confidence and preserve vitality as you age.' Dr. Samuel Lin, board certified plastic surgeon and associate professor of surgery at Harvard Medical School, commented on the fact that Corcoran has had multiple face-lifts.
