Noah Cyrus has hit back at fans after being criticised for liking her sister Miley’s ex-husband's Liam Hemsworth’s post.
The 31-year-old 'Flowers' singer first met the Aussie A-lister, 34, when she was 16 - sparking a decade-long on-and-off again relationship.
The pair went on to tie the knot in 2018 but, less than a year later, they announced their separation in 2019.

A few days back (5 April), The Hunger Games actor posted a series of snaps to his 12.5 million Instagram followers - one of which being a gym selfie.
He captioned the photos: "#legday A massive thank you to everyone that has watched Land of Bad!
"The feedback has been awesome. Extremely grateful for all the love and support!"
The post has since clocked up more than 398k likes at the time of writing but it's clear one particular person's like garnered more attention than any other.

People seemed pretty bothered by the fact that Miley's younger sister, Noah, 24, dropped a like on Liam's pic with one Instagram user hitting out on her most recent IG post: "Why would you like Liam's post?"
Another slammed: "Why did u like ur sister's ex husband's thirst trap?"
And it wasn't just Instagram, as the ordeal made its way across social media platforms all the way to Reddit's Fauxmoi thread.

"I’m sorry but no matter what issues I ever have with my sister or other family members, I’m not going on social media and liking the thirst trap photos her ex husband posts," penned one Reddit user.
A second chimed in: "No it’s not that deep but why tf are you liking your sister’s ex-husband’s thirst trap?"
Others, however, stepped forward to defend Noah: "Were people really angry about this though… I feel like people were just laughing at her for doing that?"

"I mean Noah grew up with Liam as a big brother to her for many years, Miley and Liam’s breakup doesn’t change that," explained another. "I feel like people are making this a bigger deal than it needs to be because of the other family drama.
"Sometimes a like on Instagram is just that."

The thread was titled: "Noah Cyrus likes Liam Hemsworth’s latest Instagram picture then responds to criticism."
It showed a screenshot of Liam's post with 'liked by noahcyrus' at the bottom alongside Noah's response to the backlash.
The model took to her story writing: "There's no greater joy than seeing y'all get SOOOOOOO angry over the dumbest sh*t it's so entertaining and funny."
According to E! News, Noah has since 'unliked' the photo.
