Miley's dad regrets Montana show

Miley Cyrus' dad said filming Hannah Montana with her 'destroyed' their family

Miley Cyrus' dad Billy Ray has said working with his daughter on the Hannah Montana TV show "destroyed his family".

Country star Billy Ray, whose 18-year-old daughter Miley is a global star because of the show, told GQ magazine he wished it had never been made.

He blamed the programme for his divorce and compared Miley to his late friend, Nirvana rock star Kurt Cobain, who committed suicide in 1994.

He said he was concerned Miley, like Cobain, was "spinning out of control".

'Driven a wedge'

Billy Ray played Hannah Montana's dad in the hit show, which had four seasons as well as music tours and a film spin-off.

But he told GQ he had not had a big enough role in managing his daughter's career.

He also said that making the first two seasons of the show had "driven a wedge" between him and his family and admitted that he had had problems keeping teen star Miley under control.

"I would read other parents saying, 'You don't need to be a friend [to your kids], you need to be a parent'."

"Well, I'm the first guy to say to them now, 'You were right. I should have been a better parent'."

"I should have said 'enough is enough'," he continued.

Miley Cyrus finished filming comedy film So Undercover this year and has said she plans to focus more on her music career.

No more seasons of Hannah Montana are planned.
