A representative for Miley Cyrus has insisted that the actress-singer was joking when she told people at her birthday party that she's becoming a 'stoner'.

Cyrus celebrated turning 19 at a party in Los Angeles last week, and friends gave her a cake in the shape of pot-smoking reggae star Bob Marley.

Miley, who was caught on camera last year puffing on a bong, said: 'You know you're a stoner when friends make you a Bob Marley cake - you know you smoke way too much f***ing weed.'

But a rep for the star told Access Hollywood: 'The cake was a joke and Miley was being sarcastic. It is being completely taken out of context.'

Miley's friend Kelly Osbourne has also blasted the former Hannah Montana star's critics with a series of messages on her Twitter page.

Kelly wrote: 'Let me make something very clear after @MileyCyrus salvia incident we started calling her Bob Miley as a JOKE! The cake was also A JOKE!

'It makes me sick that @MileyCyrus so called 'friends' would sell her out and lead people 2 believe she is someone that she is not!

'U guys if @MileyCyrus is not recording/filming/touring she is works everyday how could she possibly do all that if she was a stoner! #think'
