Disappointed dad: Miley Cyrus was caught on camera smoking a bong just days after her 18th birthday, which has left her father Billy Ray 'so sad'Billy Ray Cyrus today admitted he has been left bitterly disappointed over a video which shows his daughter Miley smoking a bong.
The country singer, who is in the throes of a divorce from wife Tish, took to Twitter today to address the tape, which captures the 18-year-old giggling uncontrollably after taking a hit on the pipe with friends.
'Sorry guys,' he wrote to his fans this afternoon, providing the first official comment on the incident. 'I had no idea.
'I'm so sad,' he continued. 'There is much beyond my control right now.'
The video was shot at her home near Los Angeles, California, five days after she turned 18 on November 23.
But sources insist the pipe wasn't filled with marijuana.
Instead, she is said to have been smoking salvia, a powerful hallucinogenic herb.
It is legally available for sale in California - where the video was shot - and in other states in America.
In the tape, which was posted on celebrity website TMZ, a male friend lights the plastic pipe and she starts to inhale.
Message to fans: The country singer took to Twitter after watching the video of his daughterHe is seen telling her: 'Take all of that in.'
She pauses briefly before swallowing more of the smoke. The singer then turns to camera and laughs: 'OK, I'm about to lose it now.'
A female friend advises: 'Just lie down.'
Moments later Miley says: '[I'm] having a little bit of a bad trip.'
She then jerks upright when she sees something across the room and asks: 'Is that a f***ing Liam lookalike or what the hell is that? Is that my boyfriend?
'Oh my God, he looks so much like him. Is that me tripping?'
She then laughs for almost a minute while talking nonsense.
The girl videotaping her says: 'You're gonna sh*t a brick when you see this.'
The hit Come Down by rockers Bush plays in the background as the party continues.
Celebrity website TMZ.com reports: 'The smoke filling the bong is a natural herb called salvia which has psychedelic qualities.'
Last month Miley told MTV News that she was planning 'a fun party' for her birthday.
TMZ reports that the clip was shot by a pal - but later stolen.
A source said: 'Someone stole or copied the video from that friend's camera.'
Meanwhile, it has emerged that the Hannah Montana star has purchased a $1.8million waterfront condo in Miami, Florida.
The mansion is situated in north west Florida's Panhandle area and looks out onto the emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
