Since becoming engaged to Aussie Liam Hemsworth, Miley Cyrus is even more of a paparazzi target.

The singer/actress recently hit out via Twitter after growing annoyed by snappers who camp outside her Los Angeles home.

The former Hannah Montana star has had to deal with photographers since finding fame as a young teen, but that has increased since The Hunger Games actor popped the question last month.

Cyrus is fast losing her patience with the pack of cameramen documenting her every move and she vented her anger in a Twitter post on Sunday.

She tweeted: "How is it legal for men I've never seen before to sit in front of my house and then follow me around! So shady and scary."

Earlier in the week, 19-year-old Cyrus also wrote: "I hate paparazzi with a passion. disgusting pigs. (no offense (sic) to pigs)."
