Miley Cyrus has become the youngest-ever star to receive Disney legend status
The singer rose to fame playing Hannah Montana in the Disney Channel series which first aired in 2006 when she was 13.
In an emotional speech at fan convention D23 on Sunday, Miley said she was “still proud to have been Hannah Montana”.
The 31-year-old received a standing ovation from the 12,000-strong crowd when she collected her award at the Honda Centre in Anaheim, California, home of Disneyland.
She told the audience “a little bit of everything has changed” since her breakout role playing a teenager leading a double life as a pop star “but at the same time nothing has changed at all”.
