AceShowbiz - Trace Cyrus isn't holding back when it comes to his concerns over family patriarch Billy Ray Cyrus' health. After urging his father to seek help for being "unhealthy," Trace has made it clear he disapproves of his brother Braison's optimistic view of their father's well-being.

The drama kicked off when Braison, 30, shared an Instagram Story proudly announcing a new music collaboration with his father, emphasizing that Billy Ray, 63, is "happy" and "healthy."

"I've spent this past year getting to know my dad better than I ever have. After he spent a week in the hospital in the fall, I'm grateful that my dad is happy, healthy, and ready to make this record," Braison wrote. The collaboration marks a new venture for the father-son duo and promises to be a "rare opportunity to tell my dad's story through music."

However, Trace, 35, took to Instagram Stories to voice his skepticism. Responding to a fan's query, he cryptically replied, "Birds of a feather flock together."

He then posted videos of himself working out, emphasizing, "This is what healthy looks like," before sharing a selfie of Braison with a crying emoji, seemingly dissing his younger brother's unrecognizable appearance. Trace urged Braison to "man up" and offered help to help him improve.

The tension comes on the heels of Billy Ray's much-derided performance at President Donald Trump's Liberty Ball, where he stumbled through his set, blaming technical difficulties.

In an emotional post, Trace revealed that he and other family members are "genuinely worried" about Billy Ray's health. "Sadly the man that I wanted so desperately to be just like I barely recognize now. It seems this world has beaten you down and it's become obvious to everyone but you," Trace lamented, noting his father's resistance to accept help. He added, "You're not healthy, Dad & everyone is noticing it."

Billy Ray's ex-wife, Firerose, also weighed in, echoing Trace's concerns, "What's being seen in public now reflects much of what I experienced in private during our relationship. It's very sad to see those same struggles continue for him, but I'm glad the truth is coming to light."

Despite Trace's somber tone, Braison remains excited about their upcoming album, which he describes as a big opportunity to bring family's love for music and storytelling together.

As the Cyrus family grapples with their internal disputes publicly, fans remain divided. Some hope for a positive resolution, "hoping for the day" the man they once knew returns, while others hope this emotional outpour might lead to the help Billy Ray might need.
