Cyrus said, ‘It’s like death when you lose a love that is deep – it feels like death. Sometimes that even feels easier.
‘The person still walks the earth and chooses every day because it is a choice.
“Death is not even a choice and this is a choice.”
She added: ‘Only when I got out of my long time relationship and it didn’t work out was that really traumatic.
“Now I’m in a place where I just see it and love and respect it.”
Cyrus came out as pansexual in 2015, which means she is attracted to men, regardless of their gender, given that she finds girls more attractive.
She said: ‘I find women to be much more attractive. Girls are way hotter.
‘I was attracted to girls before I was ever attracted to boys.
“When I was 11, I thought Minnie Mouse was super hot, which is so good I ended up at Disney because my chances with Minnie went up.”
However, she described her time with Hemsworth as “a great time in my life”.
