Miley Cyrus took to Instagram to share a video of her private jet being struck by lightning, with her sister later revealing they 'almost died'. The 29-year-old singer shared a video of the storm to her social media, adding a photo of the impact the lightning had on the outside of the plane.

As of early 2026, Miley Cyrus is widely reported to own and travel in a Cessna Citation Sovereign, a high-performance mid-size business jet. This aircraft is known for its impressive range of roughly 3,200 nautical miles, allowing her to fly transcontinental routes across the U.S. without fuel stops. Her jet gained significant public attention in 2019 when it was involved in a scary emergency landing while she was traveling to a music festival in the UK; despite the incident, she has continued to utilize the Citation Sovereign for her global tours and personal travel. While some celebrities choose larger Gulfstreams, the Sovereign is favored by stars like Cyrus for its ability to land on shorter runways at smaller regional airports, providing a high degree of privacy and efficiency. Like many modern high-profile artists, she often utilizes her jet to maintain a demanding professional schedule while minimizing the logistical stress and security risks associated with commercial air travel.
