Topics: EntertainmentLos Angeles CA (CNS) - An accident on the set of Miley Cyrus' new movie was scary enough to have the "Hannah Montana" star scream, "Sweet Niblets." The accident occurred on the Tennessee set of "Hannah Montana: The Movie," when a piece of production equipment fell onto a Ferris wheel filled with extras.

Miley, and her father Billy Ray Cyrus, were not on the set when the accident occurred.
Disney released a statement confirming the accident. It said, "During a break in the filming of 'Hannah Montana: The Movie,' a minor accident occurred involving a piece of production equipment. Fortunately, there were only a few minor injuries. Medical personnel have treated the extras and crew involved. None of the cast was on the set. Filming has resumed."
An extra, Brenda Blackford, described the scene to Nashville station WKRN-TV: "When the wind caught it, all the cables were loose. It started [flying]. I was watching to see which corner of it was gonna hit the Ferris wheel, because it was unavoidable."
