“They say don't meet your heroes. Her bravery to know that she was more than they believed she was and that she needed to break away and move on to a new job and new possibilities led her to write I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU, as her way of saying thank you and loving, but moving on. She is a great example for all of us.” — via Instagram.
Seth MacFarlane, director and actor
“The news of Dolly Parton's death is devastating. I had the extraordinary experience of working with her on ‘The Orville,’ and it was a joy to discover that she was truly exactly the person we all hoped she would be. Her kindness, generosity, and authenticity were evident from the first moment, and the benign but secure command she held over her empire was evident by the genuine love and trust that could be seen in everyone who worked for her. The world is a dimmer place today without her.” — via X.

Reba McEntire, singer and actress
“Well, I just received the news that my friend Dolly passed to the higher and greater side. Dolly, thank you for all the wonderful things you did for us here on earth. Your love, your music, and you gave so much with your huge, huge heart. There will never, ever be another like you.” — via X.

Ken Burns, filmmaker
“One of twelve children raised in a cabin, Dolly Parton left home carrying nothing but songs to become the most beloved figure in American music. She wrote ‘I Will Always Love You’ as a farewell to Porter Wagoner. Today it belongs to us all.” — via X.
Melissa Manchester, singer-songwriter
“The great and singular, the true queen, Dolly Parton, has died. She blessed the world with her beautiful songs and blessed humanity with her caring and generous heart... Your glory will live on in your songs and in your great achievements.” — via a statement.
