Dolly Parton's Star Replaced After Vandalism

Dolly Parton's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is being replaced after recent vandalism. Photos circulating on social media showed dark markings across the legendary singer's name. A custodian reported that a woman scratched the star after kicking candles, and a man stole flowers left as tributes.

The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce confirmed the vandalism. While repairs were already scheduled for her star, this incident necessitated a full replacement. The Hollywood Historic Trust announced the new star will be viewable by Friday.

Parton, a celebrated country music queen, received her star in 1984. Her passing was announced on Tuesday after a brief cancer battle, with tributes pouring in from numerous celebrities.
