Miley Cyrus dropped the F-bomb in response to a fan who swore at the singer when she tried to break free from admirers during a vacation in Costa Rica.

"What the f*ck? Are you for real?" Cyrus exclaimed after a fan called her an "*sshole" for leaving a group of young girls who wanted their picture taken with the singer.

Cyrus, 19, and her Aussie boyfriend Liam Hemsworth, 21, were approached by groupies as they boarded a helicopter in the beach resort town of Malpais, according to footage broadcast Tuesday by Channel 7 news station in Costa Rica.
