Billy Ray Cyrus feels proud to be a father.

As his daughters Miley and Noah both launch into new eras of music, the 63-year-old "Achy Breaky Heart" singer posted to Instagram on March 25 and expressed his pride in an emotional post.

"Holy s---. I seldom ever swear in my post but this deserves one! You are witnessing in real time what it feels like for a Dad who with in less than one [week's] time has had his ass kicked and his mind blown by not one …but two of his own daughters," wrote Billy Ray, tagging Miley, 32, and Noah, 25.

The country star's post featured a photo of Miley released earlier this week in promotion of her forthcoming album Something Beautiful, as well as a still from Noah's new "Don't Put It All on Me" music video, which dropped March 19.

"Flesh and blood… completely taking their art to a whole new level. Congratulations girls! Well done," continued Billy Ray's post.

"I’m so damn proud of both of you. I’m actually crying as I write this. Thank God you can’t see me. Have fun now and be happy! Love Dad," concluded his note.

Last month, Noah shared a celebratory note around the release of Billy Ray's recent single "Lost," marking the first time she spoke publicly about her father since brother Trace Cyrus hinted at estrangement within their family.

"So proud of my Dad's INCREDIBLE new single LOST with my good, old friend [Sam Tinnesz] and [Tommee Profitt]," she wrote at the time, adding two red hearts.

"Lost" marked Billy Ray's first release since his controversial performance at President Donald Trump's inauguration on Jan. 20, which was plagued with technical difficulties.

After the performance, Trace, 35, shared an open letter of concern to Billy Ray, who's also dad to Brandi, 37, and Braison 30, with ex-wife Tish Cyrus, as well as son Christopher, 32.

"Me and the girls have been genuinely worried about you for years but you've pushed us all away," wrote Trace. "Noah desperately has wanted you to be a part of her life and you haven't even been there for her. That's your baby girl. She deserves better. Somehow just like me she still idolizes you though."

Billy Ray seemed to respond to Trace's letter on Jan. 26, when he shared a clip from his 2009 music video for "Somebody Said a Prayer," which features Trace.

"Sunday callin," Billy Ray captioned the footage on YouTube. "Giving thanks for the California Rain . Praying for the brokenhearted and their pain. Praying for my family. For my children … sons and daughters…and their mother. Let this moment be the start of healing ❤️‍🩹 for us all. 'The past does not equal the future.' Amen 🙏🏼"

Following Miley's latest Grammy win in the best country duo/group performance category for her song "II Most Wanted" with Beyoncé on Feb. 2, Billy Ray posted to Instagram and wrote, "Congratulations @mileycyrus and @beyonce on their well-deserved @recordingacademy Grammy wins! Couldn’t be prouder!!!"
