Miley Cyrus celebrates 16th birthday

Miley Cyrus celebrated her 16th birthday in Disneyland, Florida, yesterday (05.10.08).

The 'Hannah Montana' star had the legendary theme park closed especially for her 'Miley's Sweet 16 - Share the Celebration' party, where she was joined by friends and family, as well as fans who paid $250 to help the teen actress celebrate her milestone birthday.

The multitalented star walked into the park on a purple carpet, her favourite colour, before enjoying festivities including 'Hannah Montana' themed activities.

Miley also performed four songs at the event, as well as a duet with her country singer father Billy Ray Cyrus.

Proceeds from the star-studded event will be donated to Youth Service America (YSA), an organisation which encourages young people to volunteer. Miley said: "I always love coming to Disneyland but celebrating my birthday here with my family, friends and the kids from YSA is really awesome! This is a night I'll never forget.

"The best part of the party is we're going to recognise some really cool kids from Youth Service America who are giving back to their community." While Miley's birthday isn't until November 23, the party was arranged for last night in order to fit into her busy touring and recording schedule.
