Dolly Parton's Walk of Fame star has been replaced. Since her death on August 25, 2026, the headlines have seen an outpouring of condolences and tributes from fans and industry veterans. Not just that, music streaming platforms have also witnessed a Dolly Parton renaissance, with her total streams surging by more than 1,260% globally.

But amid the mourning and heartfelt tributes, an alleged act of vandalism targeting her Hollywood Walk of Fame star has left everyone furious. Nonetheless, it has now been restored, as confirmed by the Hollywood Walk of Fame Producer herself.

Dolly Parton‘s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, which she received in 1984, has been replaced after the original one was vandalized, as reported by Variety. The star was reportedly found with several scratches shortly after the country legend’s death on August 25. According to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, the star was anyway supposed to be repaired, even before the vandalism incident, as it already had a crack because of ordinary wear and tear. 

“Our Dolly is back! Hollywood is thrilled that her star is back in pristine condition for fans to enjoy forever," Ana Martinez, Hollywood Walk of Fame Producer told Variety,
