Miley Cyrus has opened up on the level of abuse she receives from fans of other singers.

Online hate isn't anything new, but the 'Party in the USA' star took to Twitter last night (May 12) after it got too much.

The singer admitted that she often receives death threats on Twitter from fans of Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift - even though she is friends with them in real life. Cyrus said:

"Everyday someone with a Swift or Gomez in there name wishes terrible things upon me (death is popular) Please Smilers don't ever think somehow you are supporting me by being hateful towards other artist. My fans make me proud by supporting my music & everything I do."

She continued: "I'm sure these haters would make their idols much happier tweeting bout their music rather than wishing death upon their peers like psychos. We are all friends. Why can't you all be?"

Responding to a tweet that suggested Cyrus was "hating" on Swift and Gomez, the singer replied: "I said nothing about either of them...I said some fans are acting like psychos. Example A."
