Los Angeles - Miley Cyrus has thanked a photographer for not photoshopping her armpit hair.

The controversial pop star has shared the picture from the photo shoot - where she is lifting a shirt over her head revealing her perfectly toned stomach - hitting out at "some" people who have edited out the hair on her underarms before.

The 22-year-old Wrecking Ball hitmaker joins the likes of Madonna who has also flaunted hair on under her arms before.

Last year, the Bitch I'm Madonna singer shared a picture to Instagram with the caption that read: "Long hair...... Don't Care!!!!!! #artforfreedom #rebelheart #revolutionoflove.(sic)"
