After telling GQ that Hannah Montana "destroyed" his family, adding that he was "scared" for daughter Miley, Billy Ray Cyrus is now backtracking and issuing an apology of sorts.

"It is very important to me to work on mending my family right now," Cyrus tells People mag. Cyrus noted that his recent comments were "explosive, and unintentionally so," and said, "My family is the most important thing I have, and we are working together to make sure our future is stronger and healthier. It is all a learning process, and we thank everyone for their support and respect of our privacy as we sort through very important family issues."

Do you think he owes Miley an apology? And how soon will father and daughter be on speaking terms again?
