It’ll take a lot for Billy Ray Cyrus to heal his daughter Miley's "Achy Breaky Heart."

"The Cyrus family has been torn apart," a source recently spilled to a news publication of the broken family's messy dynamic.

According to the insider, Miley and Billy Ray haven’t seen eye to eye ever since the "Flowers" singer's mom, Tish Cyrus, finally left her tumultuous 28-year marriage to the "She’s Not Cryin’ Anymore" hitmaker, filing for divorce in April 2022.

Miley is extremely protective of her mom and "has told friends her dad’s a narcissist," the confidante confessed.

"It's going to take a lot for her to forgive him, because he caused so much pain," the source admitted.

While the "Party in the U.S.A." singer hasn’t specifically addressed feuding with her father, she seemed to make it clear they were estranged while accepting her first-ever Grammy award earlier this year.

Miley made sure not to give Billy Ray any credit for her career while thanking the rest of her family by name for their support.

In June, however, The Last Song star, 31, acknowledged she shared "a lot of [Billy Ray’s] perspective on reality and on life" but made sure to note it was "my mom [who] raised me."

Billy Ray's marriage to Firerose, 37, certainly didn’t help his case, as it only seemed to further distance himself from the "Wrecking Ball" singer.
