Dolly Parton’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is reported to have been vandalized with numerous scratches, days after the singer’s death. A fan reports the damage, according to Ana Martinez, a spokesperson for the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, who tells a news outlet that the star is marked by multiple scratches.
Both reports attribute the information to Martinez and describe the same incident, citing a fan tip about the vandalism. The coverage focuses on how quickly the star is targeted after her death and includes reactions from fans who say the damage is upsetting. Neither outlet provides additional details such as the exact timing, the identity of any suspect, or whether authorities open a criminal investigation in the cited accounts.
Overall, the outlets align on what happened—scratches damage the Walk of Fame star—and on the source of the information, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce spokesperson. Differences are limited to wording and emphasis, with both accounts relying on the same reported description of the vandalism.
