Miley and Billy Ray Cyrus

Billy Ray Cyrus is delighted his daughter Miley has reconciled with boyfriend Liam Hemsworth, calling the actor "a great guy".

The pop star/actress started dating the Aussie when they played lovers on the big screen in The Last Song in 2009, but the relationship became shaky last year and they eventually split.

They reignited their romance recently, and Billy Ray is pleased his daughter is back in Hemsworth's arms.

He tells E! Online, "He's a great guy. He's solid. He's got great character... He's a tremendous talent. And I have to tell you, on or off the record, he's just a good guy. He's just a really good guy. I really like him a lot."
