Grammy-winning artist Miley Cyrus received a touching congratulatory message from her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, after being honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In a heartfelt note, Billy fondly recalled their late-night strolls on Hollywood's "dirty sidewalks" and how his daughter would point out chewing gum spots that made him sick.
