Teen star Miley Cyrus has been pictured giving a rude hand gesture to a group of paparazzi photographers.

The Hannah Montana singer/actress was enjoying a day out at a Californian funfair on Tuesday with her youngster sister Noah when she spotted some snappers taking her picture while she was riding a rollercoaster.

Cyrus, 15, responded by pulling an angry face and raising two fingers to the camera.

The pictures are the latest blow to Cyrus' good girl image following a spate of photo scandals including her controversial Vanity Fair magazine shoot which saw her posing semi-naked wrapped in a satin sheet.
