Less than a month afterlosing her homein the devastating California wildfires,Miley Cyrusis coping with more misfortune.
The news comes just one day after Cyrus spoke out about moving on andstaying positiveafter the destruction of her home.
“Honestly, I’m in a really good kind of healing place right now,” the singer, 26, said during anOn Air with Ryan Seacrestinterviewon Tuesday, adding that she “definitely learned a lot.”

Cyrus — who just released“Nothing Breaks Like a Heart,”a new collaboration with Mark Ronson— revealed on Nov. 12 that theMalibu home she sharedwith fiancéLiam Hemsworthwas lost in the blaze that swept across Southern California.
“My dad has always told me, ‘Life is a series of adjustments.’ And sometimes we never understand what our parents are telling us until we start to experience life more because they learn those things as they go,” she said in the interview. “So I’m starting to really understand what that means now. I think experiencing something as life-changing and devastating as a natural disaster, it’s a really deep character challenge, I think, to see the way you react to loss.”
After losing her home, Cyrus said she decided to move forward with a positive attitude.

“For me, I had a choice of post-traumatic stress or post-traumatic growth,” she said. “You feel like you don’t have control, especially when something happens that’s a natural disaster because there is no beating nature; it is really what it is. To be able to go into yourself and to find that growth and say, ‘What am I gonna do about this?’ and being able to be an active member of my community — not as a celebrity figure but just as a neighbor — has just been really a big growing experience.”
After the fire, Cyrus and Hemsworthreturned to the remains of their home, where they found little aside from the letters “L-O-V-E” that had decorated their front door.
“That’s literally and physically all that’s left, so I felt that that was really poetic. You can always rebuild a physical structure, but that love that can’t be destroyed is always there and always stays strong,” Cyrus told Seacrest. “That’s been something that gave me a lot of light at a dark time.”
