Billy Ray Cyrus has returned to social media following son Trace Cyrus’ concern over his father’s health.
Billy Ray, 63, enjoyed a day out with his dogs on Saturday, January 25, sharing footage of his outing via Instagram Story, including one clip of a puppy running across a field, set to the song “Rocky Top” by The Osborne Brothers.
In another video, the same puppy was curled up in the passenger seat of a car while Coldplay’s “Yellow” played on the radio and another one of Billy Ray’s dogs sat outside.
Earlier this week, Trace, 35, shared an emotional message on social media claiming his famous father was not “healthy.” In his caption, Trace offered to support Billy Ray for the issues he might be “struggling with” following his performance at the Liberty Ball on Monday, January 20, in honor of President Donald Trump’s inauguration.

“Since my earliest memories all I can remember is being obsessed with you and thinking you were the coolest person ever,” Trace wrote via Instagram on Wednesday, January 22, alongside a throwback photo of himself onstage with his dad. “I wanted to be just like you. The day you adopted me was the happiest day of my life.”
In his post, Trace also noted that “the girls,” including his sister Noah Cyrus, are concerned about their dad as well. “Sadly the man that I wanted so desperately to be just like I barely recognize now,” the former Metro Station frontman continued. “It seems this world has beaten you down and it’s become obvious to everyone but you.”
Billy Ray is the father of six children. He adopted Trace and sister Brandi, 37, the biological children of ex-wife Tish Cyrus from a previous relationship, and welcomed Miley, 32, Braison, 30, and Noah, 25, with Tish during their marriage. (Billy Ray also shares son Christopher Cody, 32, with Kristen Luckey.)
Not all of Billy Ray’s children are on the same page about their dad. On Friday, January 24, Braison claimed via Instagram Stories that Billy Ray was on the mend following a hospital stay in 2024.
Billy Ray Cyrus’ ex-wife Firerose is speaking out after his son’s emotional plea regarding concerns for the musician’s behavior. “What’s being seen in public now reflects much of what I experienced in private during our relationship,” Firerose, 35, told Page Six on Thursday, January 23. “It’s very sad to see those same struggles continue for […]
“After he spent a week in the hospital in the fall, I’m grateful that my dad is happy, healthy and ready to make this record,” Braison wrote. He and Billy Ray confirmed on Friday that they’d be working together on the Grammy winner’s next album, with Braison set to produce the record.
Billy Ray has not commented on Trace’s claims. Trace, however, responded to Braison’s statement on Friday, writing via Instagram Story, “Birds of a feather, flock together. This is what healthy looks like. Braison, I can help you too. Damn, man up boys.” Us Weekly has reached out to Braison for comment.
