One day after Dolly Parton‘s death at the age of 80, Miley Cyrus honored her famous godmother in an emotional post on Instagram on Wednesday (Aug. 26).
“The feeling of losing my Aunt Dolly is beyond what feels right to share,” Cyrus began alongside a black-and-white photo of a younger Parton. “Our most sacred moments were private and they’ll stay there behind the stage, beneath the glamour & between our hearts.”
