Mount VHD and get drive letter

I am looking to get the drive letter of the VHD mount using Powershell. I can mount the VHD with the below cmdlet:

Mount-VHD -Path d:/tmp.vhdx

The mount works fine, but when I try getting the drive letter:

Get-DiskImage -ImagePath d:\tmp.vhdx | Get-Disk | Get-Partition | Get-Volume ).DriveLetter

It fails with below error:

Get-DiskImage : Invalid property

I believe Get-DiskImage works fine for an ISO, but not for VHD? Can you help me in obtaining it for VHD.

This way work for me:

$DriveLetter = (Mount-VHD -Path "G:\YourVHDX.vhdx" -PassThru | Get-Disk | Get-Partition | Get-Volume).DriveLetter

Then Write-Output $DriveLetter will show the drive letter.
