"I was filming Black Mirror, and while I was there the Woolsey Fires happened in Malibu," Cyrus began. "And I was in South Africa, but it was taking place in Malibu, so it was just a real trip."
Miley Cyrus is opening up about the moment she found out her Malibu home had burned down.
In a new TikTok video posted as part of Cyrus' "Used To Be Young" series Tuesday, the 30-year-old singer detailed being strapped to a gurney in South Africa, where she was filming an episode of Black Mirror, when she got the news.
"I was filming Black Mirror, and while I was there the Woolsey Fires happened in Malibu," Cyrus began. "And I was in South Africa, but it was taking place in Malibu, so it was just a real trip."
As fans recall, Cyrus starred in a season 5 episode of the anthology series titled, "Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too," which saw her as a pop star whose charmed existence isn't quite as rosy as it appears.
The experience turned out to be an anxiety-inducing one for Cyrus, who said it wasn't until a few years after the 2018 fire that she began having anxiety attacks about being strapped down to a gurney -- the attacks, Cyrus said, happened anytime she was due to perform.
"Probably two or three years later after this happened, I didn't understand, but I would have this anxiety attack with a vision attached that I would be strapped down to a gurney," she explained.
Cyrus continued, "So I would have these dreams any time I would go to perform, and I thought that was just an anxious vision that made no sense. But actually, as my house was burning down, I was strapped to a gurney with my hands locked in handcuffs, locked to a bed."

"I was flirting with her, and she was a little scared," she added. "We were having fun! Ariana's a real friend. There's never been a time where I asked her to do something that was important to me that she didn't come through, and same thing with me for her."
