Dolly Parton’s family issues a public statement following the country music legend’s death, released via remarks by her nephew, Bryan Seaver. Seaver announces her death in an emotional video and reads a tribute on behalf of the family.

Multiple outlets publish the family message in full, presenting the same text and emphasizing that it is delivered through Seaver rather than by another representative. The Independent and Yahoo UK both focus on the wording of the statement and the manner of its release, while the New York Post frames the announcement as a heartfelt family tribute shared publicly.

All three accounts align on the core details: the death is made public through Seaver’s video and the family statement is circulated through media outlets in full. However, beyond the shared framing and reproduction of the message, the provided excerpts do not add further independent details about circumstances surrounding the death or immediate public reaction.
