The world is mourning the loss of Dolly Parton, but her death has hit goddaughter Miley Cyrus especially hard.
According to a new report from Rob Shuter's Naughty But Nice Substack published on Wednesday, August 26, the "Flowers" singer, 33, is having a tough time coming to grips with Parton's death.
"Miley needs time. This one is going to hurt for a very long time," a source told the gossip columnist, adding that while Miley "knew this day would eventually come," she still wasn't prepared for the reality of losing the Steel Magnolias star and is now "absolutely heartbroken."
"Miley is in a very dark place right now," the source continued. "This isn't Miley losing another music legend. This is Miley losing someone who helped raise her, guided her career and loved her unconditionally."
The Hannah Montana alum publicly addressed the devastating loss on Wednesday, and she admitted that some parts of her relationship with Parton were simply too personal to share with the public.

Dolly Parton opened up to PEOPLE in 2020 about life lessons spanning her marriage, tattoos and knowing her own worth
Parton added that she was in "awe" of young talents like her goddaughter Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift
The country icon died on Aug. 25, 2026
In 2020, Dolly Parton opened up to PEOPLE about her marriage, music, and even her tattoos, sharing life lessons along the way. This interview was republished following her death at 80 years old following a "brief battle with cancer" on Aug. 25.
There was a moment in Dolly Parton's career when she understood what her life was worth, because she finally understood what her words—each one shaped by her fabled Smoky Mountains upbringing—were worth. At 74, Parton distinctly remembers the day in 1992 she heard Whitney Houston's version of her song "I Will Always Love You" on the radio. "It was a worldwide thing. It was in a movie; it was No. 1. I thought, 'Wow. I wrote that little song.' That's when I felt my worth as a songwriter. I thought, 'This is my gift, and I'm going to do the best I can with it.'"

Dolly Parton and Miley Cyrus shared a deep bond as godmother and goddaughter
The two singers collaborated on numerous projects, including Hannah Montana, music duets and co-hosting a New Year's Eve special
Miley recounted one of her last conversations with Parton in an emotional tribute following the "Jolene" singer's death on Aug. 25
Dolly Parton was a beloved figure to millions worldwide, but she was "like a mother" to her goddaughter Miley Cyrus.
The Queen of Country and the "Flowers" singer's relationship goes back all the way to before Miley was even born, when Parton forged a close friendship with her father, Billy Ray Cyrus. Billy and Parton were touring together in the early 1990s when Billy and his then-partner, Tish Cyrus, were expecting their first child together.

An ex-Biden campaign staffer blamed the former president's decision to seek a second term for President Donald Trump's return to the White House, as the Biden family mounts a public effort to rehabilitate Biden's political legacy, according to a report from New York Magazine.
"I think it is very hard to ever get over the fact that he is responsible for the ****** scape that we live in now," the former campaign staffer told New York Magazine. "It is undeniable that his hubris cost us. He was an extremely impactful president who was successful in delivering tangible wins for Americans, but all of that is washed away."
The report, published Friday, detailed Biden's June 5 appearance at the South Dakota Democratic Party's McGovern Day Dinner in Sioux Falls, where the 83-year-old former president addressed roughly 1,200 Democrats at a Best Western near the airport.
