Miley Cyrus is facing backlash after posting two photos to social media on Tuesday.

On Instagram, Cyrus shared a photo of herself sitting inside a Joshua tree while wearing a floral-print leotard. In the photo’s caption, she wrote: “Looking down at all the petty drama like….,” followed by a purple heart emoji.

According to USA Today, each of Cyrus' Instagram photos quickly gained more than 4,300 comments after being posted. However, at the time of this post, comments appear to have been turned off under each photo.

Cyrus also shared the photos on Twitter, where she has received hundreds of tweets in response. Many fans were unhappy with the celebrity, and said she was a "bad example" to fans, who might now be inspired to sit on the "delicate" trees.

Representatives for the Joshua Tree National Park also shared a message to Twitter on Tuesday.

In their tweet, park representatives advised people to admire the tree species "from the ground," but did not mention Cyrus directly.

"Joshua trees are not your typical 'tree' - they're actually more closely related to grasses and orchids than hardwood trees (oak or cedar)," the park representatives wrote to followers on Twitter. "They have thin, shallow roots & can't support weight w/o damage. Keep admiring and loving on our amazing Joshua trees, from the ground!"

However, not all Twitter users were bothered by Cyrus' post. Some saw the photos as an opportunity to encourage Cyrus to release new music, while others said they liked the images.

Joshua trees grow solely within the Mojave desert, which is located in southwest California, Nevada, Utah, and Arizona. The species is known for being "vulnerable to climate change," according to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, but is not currently protected by the government.

However, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service says it is "currently reviewing the Joshua tree for listing under the Endangered Species Act."

Representatives for Miley Cyrus and the National Park Service did not immediately reply to INSIDER's requests for comment.
