Locals irked by Cyrus party fireworks

Residents have voiced their outrage after being disturbed by a late-night fireworks display held at Disneyland to celebrate Miley Cyrus's 16th birthday.

The Hannah Montana star was reportedly joined by celebrities Steve Carell, Tyra Banks and Jennifer Love Hewitt at the fun park for the bash.

Disney chiefs closed the California park for the special event, which ended with a fireworks display. However, gossip columnist Perez Hilton reports that local residents were angered that noise from the event carried on into the night.

One neighbour wrote: "As u probably know, the fireworks at Disneyland go off at 9.30pm on most nights. Apparently when u get tons of money for a private paty [sic], u get fireworks at 11.30pm on a Sunday! We thought an explosion went off over there!"

The writer continued: "She got a fourth of July-worthy fireworks show and so did thousands of Anaheim residents who had no idea it was coming."

About 5,000 fans were at the party, held a month ahead of Cyrus's actual birthday on November 23.
