Former Olympic athlete Bruce Jenner, who has been transitioning to life as a woman, revealed her new name Caitlyn Jenner earlier this month, when she appeared on the cover of Vanity Fair in a strapless white corset.
The charity used its Inspiration Gala in New York on Tuesday night to honour the 22-year-old "Wrecking Ball" singer, and U.S. television host Andy Cohen, for their support of the fight against AIDS.
"I feel undeserving ... this is too much," Cyrus said on the gala's red carpet.
