'Hannah Montana' star Miley Cyrus has issued an apology after posing for a racy photo shoot.
The 15-year-old actress was photographed by acclaimed photographer Annie Leibovitz wearing just a blanket for Vanity Fair magazine.
Miley admits she now regrets the shots, which were intended to be "artistic".
She said: "I took part in a photo shoot that was supposed to be 'artistic' and now, seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed. I never intended for any of this to happen and I apologise to my fans who I care so deeply about."
The Disney Channel, who broadcast 'Hannah Montana', have also criticised the magazine, saying: "Unfortunately, as the article suggests, a situation was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines."
A spokesperson for Vanity Fair has defended the publication, saying: "Miley's parents and minders were on the set all day. Since the photo was taken digitally, they saw it on the shoot and everyone thought it was a beautiful and natural portrait of Miley."
The article accompanying the pictures quoted Miley as saying the pictures are "really artsy. It wasn't done in a skanky way."
