Miley Cyrus was one of the performers at last night’s VH1 Divas concert, but her performance was different the rest — it was dedicated to her late Yorkshire pup, Lila, whom she lost tragically earlier this week. While details surrounding the death were kept secret at first, her mother, Tish Cyrus, has opened up about the heartbreaking incident in a new blog post:
As for Miley, its been a really tough week. As you all know her beloved baby girl Lila passed away. Everyone has been so precious and so supportive of her and I love you all so much for that. Miley loved Lila more than anyone can imagine. I know some people were saying its JUST a dog, but to Miley she was so much more. In Miley’s life, as you can imagine, its hard to let many people into your tight circle of family and friends. Anytime, that Miley is sad or having a hard day, Lila was her angel. The one that always loved her unconditionally no matter what was going on in her life at that time. She would always just curl up in bed with Lila for a few hours and then everything would always feel better! She always made me feel better too. I gave her the nickname Lila Sue Pumpernickel! lol I have no idea where that come from, but it stuck!
The way that Lila was taken from her was beyond terrible. Sometimes things happen that we just cant understand. Miley still isn’t ready to talk about it, but I thought you guys should know what happened.
For some unknown reason, Ziggy…….. grabbed Lila. Not really sure if she was playing or what? She grabbed her in just the wrong spot and Lila didn’t survive…………. Please understand that Miley isn’t ready to talk about this and we dont think Ziggy is a mean dog…….. We took Ziggy to SPOT dog rescue and they found her a new home with no other pets or children just in case it wasn’t a fluke. So not only did Miley lose Lila, she feels she lost Ziggy as well.

As rough as this week was for Miley, she pulled things together for the concert. The former Hannah Montana star hit the stage in a black leather outfit equipped with a silver belly chain and spiked studs for a crotch-grabbing, and boob-grabbing, rendition of Billy Idol’s “Rebel Yell.”
“That was for you, Lila,” Miley said following her performance.
