Days after Dolly Parton was laid to rest, reports began to emerge online that her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame had allegedly been vandalized.
Ana Martinez, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce's senior vice president of media and talent relations, told TMZ that a fan reported that someone had attempted to scratch off her name on the star and stole flowers from the makeshift memorial on Aug. 31.
On Sept. 1, crew members with the Hollywood Historic Trust, which maintains the stars on the Walk of Fame, could be seen beginning restoration of Parton's star.
Martinez told ABC 7 that the trust had already planned to replace Parton's star due to existing cracks from its years on the walkway.
USA TODAY has reached out to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce for comment.
