Miley Cyrus<\/a> paid a touching tribute to the late Paula Yates<\/a> in a recent shoot. The Flowers singer wore items of Paula’s wardrobe, including a green floral print dress for the cover of Perfect magazine.<\/p>\n Pixie Geldof said her mum would “have got a kick out of it”. Telling the emotive story behind the images, she said the dress brought back happy memories of lazy family Sundays.<\/p>\n She wrote: “First time lending any of my mums archive. But we love Miley in this household. So when Katy Grand (Perfect editor) asked I said of course. I sent a few bits over, and what I love is it\u2019s this beautiful everyday dress that they chose for the cover, a dress that was worn on sleepy Sundays, not big time parties, that spoke to Katie and Miley most, that for them carried her essence.<\/p>\n “I don\u2019t imagine there is anyone who I would wanna see in her archive more than Miley, another fiercely talented, kind and hilarious powerhouse,” the emotional statement continued.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Kelly Clarkson to make return to TV after death of ex-husband<\/a>READ MORE: Miley Cyrus fans outraged as singer, then 14, asked if she’s pregnant in resurfaced clip<\/a><\/p>\n TV presenter and writer Paula died in 2000 aged 41 of a heroin overdose. The mum-of-four was loved for her On The Bed interviews on The Big Breakfast and had high-profile relationships with musicians Bob Geldof and Michael Hutchence.<\/p>\n Pixie and Miley have been friends for years. Pixie has been spotted at Miley\u2019s gigs and the pair have been pictured on nights out together.<\/p>\n Content cannot be displayed without consent<\/p>\n It comes eleven years after Peaches Geldof<\/a> died and the late star adored her mum, Paula Yates<\/a>, who passed years earlier in tragically similar circumstances. The bubbly Big Breakfast star died in 2000, aged 41, after a heroin overdose – 14 years before Peaches’ own life was cut tragically short.<\/p>\n The mum-of-two, who also died from an overdose aged just 25<\/a>, never got over losing Paula, who was herself heartbroken when her partner, INXS star Michael Hutchence, died by suicide in 1997, aged 37.<\/p>\n Peaches even shared a heartbreaking final photo of herself as a child with her mum before she was found dead at her home in Kent in 2014.<\/p>\n The model’s death sent shockwaves around the world<\/a> in a tragic case of history repeating itself, which left her father, Bob Geldof, bereft.<\/p>\n It is perhaps little wonder that Peaches would go on to have a difficult adolescence. After Paula\u2019s death, she began drinking alcohol and experimenting with drugs, much to her dad’s horror.<\/p>\n “Yeah, I\u2019ve taken drugs. Yes, I\u2019ve had experiences, and a few of those experiences were unsavoury, not ones I want to repeat, but I was growing up,\u2019 she told the Spectator before adding: “I wanted the experience.”<\/p>\n In a tragic final interview, Peaches claimed it was only after she became a mum to sons Astala and Phaedra in 2012 and 2013 that she came to terms with the loss of Paula.<\/p>\n Speaking to Aga Living<\/a> magazine, published in the Sunday Times<\/a>, the young mum said she felt her TV presenter mother was “living through me all the time because we are just so similar”.<\/p>\n Explaining that her sons had allowed her to achieve a new understanding of the world, she said: “I’m not sure I’ve yet fully made peace with my childhood, but with my mum I have come to terms with everything.”<\/p>\n However, just months later, the Geldof family was rocked by another tragedy, when history appeared to have repeated itself.<\/p>\n *If you’re struggling and need to talk, the Samaritans operate a free helpline open 24\/7 on 116 123.
