There is no doubt that Sia is a huge fan of Maddie Ziegler's talent, and now after working collaborating on two music videos together, the Aussie pop star says that the pint-sized dancer is just like "family" to her.

Ziegler has so far starred in two of Sia's videos, including last year's breakout hit, "Chandelier," and "Elastic Heart," where she dances almost half-naked in a cage with Hollywood actor Shia LaBeouf.

In a new interview with People Magazine on Friday, Sia opened up about Ziegler saying, "She's like family to me. We had so much fun on set. Shia was always laughing and cracking jokes. It was all positives."

And while many fans have criticized the video by saying it borderlines on pedophilia, co-director Daniel Askill is dimissing the claims, calling it "ridiculous."

"Nothing could have been further from our minds in terms of the intent of the project," Askill said, according to People. "It's really one of those things that is very much open to interpretation. Unfortunately, some people's minds are a bit darker than others."

Meanwhile, Ziegler herself has admitted that her life has changed so much thanks to her newfound fame from this past year.

In a new interview with Cosmopolitan magazine this past week, Zielger says that she's fast become a household name since her dance moves in Sia's video made huge waves for her in the media and gossip blogs.

She told the magazine, "It's changed in so many different ways. I mean, now celebrities know who I am. When I saw Miley Cyrus and J.Lo [on the red carpet at the VMAs] I was like, 'Hi, um, I'm Maddie, I don't know if you know me, I'm in the Sia video.' They're like, 'We've seen it.' And I was like, Whoa, that is cool. Because, you know, I'm just a girl that lives in Pittsburgh. It's not a big deal at all."
