Billy Ray Cyrus has broken his silence after his son, Trace, shared a public plea for him ‘to get help’ on social media last week.
Amid reports that his daughter Miley Cyrus is doing her best not to get involved in the tense family drama, the country singer, 63, seemingly extended an olive branch to his children by sharing a clip from his 2009 music video for his track, Somebody Said a Prayer.
‘Sunday callin,’ Billy Ray captioned his post on TikTok. ‘Giving thanks for the California Rain. Praying for the brokenhearted and their pain. Praying for my family. For my children … sons and daughters…and their mother. Let this moment be the start of healing for us all.’
He concluded his post by writing: “The past does not equal the future.” Amen.’
Billy Ray’s message was directed toward his ex-wife, Tish Cyrus, and their kids: Brandi, 37, Trace, Miley, 32, Braison, 30, and Noah, 25, as well as his son Christopher, 32, who he shares with ex Kristin Luckey.
The footage featured Trace, who Billy Ray adopted in 1993 after marrying Tish, playing a troubled teenager grieving the loss of his father.

In the video, Trace’s character struggles to cope with his loss and attempts suicide by taking a bottle of pills.
The tear-jerking song, which was the lead single off Billy Ray’s album Back to Tennessee, urges listeners to have faith even in the darkest of times.
Billy Ray did not comment on Trace’s allegation that he is allegedly seeking legal action against him for sharing concern for his health and well-being.
In a statement released on Instagram last week, Trace posted a message for to his dad following his ‘trainwreck’ performance at the Trump inauguration.
‘Since my earliest memories all I can remember is being obsessed with you and thinking you were the coolest person ever. I wanted to be just like you. The day you adopted me was the happiest day of my life,’ he wrote.
Trace continued: ‘Sadly the man that I wanted so desperately to be just like I barely recognize now. It seems this world has beaten you down and it’s become obvious to everyone but you.’
‘You may be upset with me for posting this but I really could care less at this point. Me and the girls have been genuinely worried about you for years but you’ve pushed all of us away,’ he added of his siblings.
Trace further wrote, ‘Noah desperately has wanted you to be a part of her life and you haven’t even been there for her.’
