Miley Cyrus has shared her devastation at the death of her “best friend” after she was diagnosed with cancer.
The 28-year-old pop star has shared photos of her pit bull mix named Mary Jane as she posted a lengthy tribute to her four-legged friend.
The heartbroken singer wrote: “Anyone who knows me & it doesn’t have to be well is aware that my best friend in the whole world is a rescued pit bull mix named Mary Jane.”
Miley said the animal had been diagnosed with cancer over a year ago and had since developed “multiple types and tumours”.
She continued on Instagram : “I was told it’d be an uncertain amount of time until she’s gone.
“Advised to spend every second savouring her special spirit… which wasn’t anything new. I had been for 10 years.”

Cyrus, whose most recent album, Plastic Hearts, arrived in November, said the dog had been more than a friend or member of the family.
She wrote: “In life it is easy to take things for granted. To let little miracles pass you by without moments of gratitude.
“To be oblivious when the rays of heaven shine down onto you. But when it came to my ANGEL Mary Jane… never once did I forget the gift I had been given.”

Miley continued: “She made it impossible to. She was a dog with wings in a way.
“I thanked her repeatedly as she took her last breath for who and what she has been to me. It was something more than a friend or family member. Something so different.
“You cant define it. Our connection was purely DIVINE. An incomparable love.”
The Hannah Montana actress added: “She is no longer hurting but I am. That’s what love is.”
