The show debuted on the Disney Channel in 2006 and ran for 98 episodes until the series finale in 2011.
The actress’ dad,Billy Ray Cyrus, who starred as her father on the series, also celebrated the 13th anniversary with a cast photo.
“Dang Flabbit! Happy Anniversary #HannahMontana! 13 years ago today we released the pilot!” he wrote.
Reflecting on her time on the show, Cyrus previously admitted that achieving such early fame had a lasting effect on her life.
“I liked being in the Disney universe ’cause I didn’t know anything else. I knew I was getting to live what I wanted to do,” Cyrus said during a new sit-down withCBS Sunday Morning. “I think now that I’m older now, I realize that’s a lot to put on a kid.”
She continued, “It’s a lot to put on a kid to have them have to get their makeup done and then also balance school and then also have me dress up in a wig. It’s a littleToddlers and Tiaras.”

When asked whether she looks back on herHannah Montanadays positively, the singer replied, “I definitely look back on it as a good time. I think what was hard for me was balancing everything. I think it got harder when I started touring as both — I toured as Hannah Montana and as myself.”
“I think that’s probably what’s a little bit wrong with me now!” she added. “I mark that up to doing some extreme damage in my psyche as an adult person.”
But Cyrus said she wouldn’t go back and change a thing.
“I loved being that character,” she said. “And honestly, music is everything and all people wanna have is great music and for that audience, for what that was, that was great music for kids to listen to. there’s a song called ‘Life’s What You Make It, so Let’s Make It Rock.’ Never forget that— wise words. That’s a good thing to tell kids.”
