Singer Miley Cyrus, who is reeling from her parents' divorce, is reportedly not taking sides with either of them.

Cyrus' parents — 49-year-old singer dad Billy Ray Cyrus and 43-year-old mother Tish — filed for divorce after 17 years of marriage.

"Miley is not taking any sides on this. She has been upset recently. She's trying to keep everything private while her family works through this," contactmusic.com quoted a source as saying.

Cyrus' father filed divorce papers on October 26. In a statement, he said: "As you can imagine, this is a very difficult time for our family. We are trying to work through some personal matters. We appreciate your thoughts and prayers."
