London, February 23 : Miley Cyrus has hit back at people questioning the parameters of her relationship with her celebrity father Billy Ray Cyrus.

The 16-year-old had raised many questions after posing with her father for a Vanity Fair magazine last year, where she was snapped reclining against her dad while he rest an arm around her shoulder.

"We don''t let other people tell us what expressions we''re supposed to have on our faces when we take a picture together!" she added. (
