The Hunger Games star threw a huge St Patrick's Day party, using the occasion to give a big shout out to Ireland.

He also revealed how proud he is of the fact that his grandmother was Irish.

"Happy St. Patrick’s Day Ireland! Thanks for letting all of us celebrate it with u!!" he wrote.

"My grandma was Irish and I couldn’t be prouder. Light it up!"

And judging by an Instagram story shared on Miley's page, it looked like an epic St Pat's party.

Miley rocked out in a shamrock onesie and St Pat's hat, while the room was filled with everything from shamrocks, rainbows and pots of gold to bunches of green balloons and lepreachauns.
