Sources told Radar Online that Billy Ray Cyrus is devastated by the growing distance between him and his estranged daughter Miley. 

According to the source, "Firerose saw Miley as a threat to what she was seeking – control over Billy Ray."

The insider added, "She virtually forbade him to see Miley. She practically led him around by the nose until he realized how far he had strayed from those who meant the most to him."

The divorce between Billy Ray and Firerose turned ugly, with Firerose accusing him of verbal and emotional abuse, while Billy Ray claimed she was using him to boost her career, a situation Miley had reportedly warned him about from the start. 

A close friend shared, "Miley loathed Firerose. Billy hopes now that she's out of his life, Miley is going to let him back into hers - but he knows he's got some work to do."
