Cyrus was joined by her fiance Maxx Morando, 27, for the premiere at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, as well as sister Brandi, 38, and her mother Tish, 58, who attended with her husband Dominic Purcell, 56.
Dad Billy Ray, who starred in the sitcom and will appear in the special, wasn’t at the premiere, while former co-star Emily Osment was also missing.
Osment, 34, who played Miley’s best friend Lilly Truscott, has confirmed she didn’t take part in the anniversary show because of filming commitments for her series George and Mandy’s First Marriage.
She said in an Instagram video: “I wanted to say hello and thank you to everybody that has stuck by us for all these years.
“So grateful that you guys all still love this show. I’m so proud to be a part of it.”
She added in the caption: “Hannah Montana changed my life, it gave me a lifelong respect for this medium of comedy, it taught me discipline, patience, timing and respect working in an adult space so young.
“I can’t tell you what your sweet messages mean to me and how lucky I feel to have been apart of this once in a generation goliath of a television show.
“Thank you for letting me into your living rooms and I hope to still be there many years from now.”
