Trace Cyrus, son of country star Billy Ray Cyrus, has voiced worry over his father’s health.

In a heartfelt Instagram post on Wednesday, the 35-year-old addressed his dad directly, expressing his concern for him.

YSL News has reached out for a statement from Billy Ray Cyrus’ representatives.

“From my earliest memories, I’ve always admired you and thought you were the coolest person around,” Trace wrote.

“I wanted to emulate you. The day you took me in was the happiest day of my life. However, sadly, the person I’ve looked up to so much is hardly recognizable now.

“It looks like life has taken a toll on you and it’s becoming clear to everyone except you,” he continued. “You might be upset with me for sharing this, but at this point, I don’t really care. My sisters and I have genuinely been worried about you for years, but you’ve pushed us away.”

Billy Ray Cyrus has six children, including Trace, whom he shares with ex-wife Tish Cyrus. They also have Brandi Cyrus, 37; Miley Cyrus, 32; Braison Cyrus, 30; and Noah Cyrus, 25. Additionally, he has a son, Christopher Cody Cyrus, with Kristin Luckey.

Trace, who mentioned that he hasn’t spoken to his father “in quite some time,” expressed that his sister Noah “desperately wants your presence in her life, but you’ve not been there for her,” adding that the family is “clinging to memories of the man we once knew & hoping he returns.”

“You’re not well, Dad, and everyone notices,” Trace emphasized, sharing that he wrote the message “with tears in my eyes” in hopes that his father understands it comes from a place of love and concern that he may be lost to the world too soon.

While Trace said he isn’t completely aware of what his father’s issues might be, he expressed a willingness to help if his dad would open up and seek assistance, mentioning that until that happens, he will continue to pray for him.

This message comes after Billy Ray Cyrus stirred controversy with a performance at the inaugural Liberty Ball on Monday that many considered a disappointment.

Audiences were left disheartened as he stumbled through the song “Old Town Road,” delivering the lyrics in a shaky spoken tone and facing technical issues, including his electric guitar being unhooked from the audio system.

“In life, when you face technical problems, you just have to keep moving forward, or as President Trump would say, ‘You gotta fight,'” he noted during his performance.

Later, he told People magazine that he “wouldn’t have missed the chance to perform at this event, regardless of whether my microphone, guitar, and monitors worked or not.”
