The singer was on vacation in Costa Rica with her boyfriend Liam Hemsworth when she stopped to sign autographs and take photos with fans before boarding a helicopter.

After singning for a bit, Cyrus announced to a fan, “I gotta go, honey.”  A woman in the crowd screamed “a******” as she started to walk away.

Cyrus responded, “What the f***?  Are you for real?”  She then said, “We’re on vacation.  I’m not being an a****** .”

The whole incident was captured on a camera phone and it aired on a local news channel.

Cyrus took to her Twitter account to explain what happened.  She wrote, “Been trying not to tweet & just enjoy the holidays but just to clear something up I would NEVER swear to a fan. When someone yells something SO rude making ME look like an ‘a******’ infront of fans who I am more than happy 2 take a picture w/ I can’t tolerate that kind of rudeness.”

She later tweeted, “Every1 who was there apologized 4 the woman’s brusque behavior. She obviously wasn’t a fan. Hope everyone1 has a Merry Christmas! LOVE 2 ALL!”
