Jamie Lee Curtis, Sarah Jessica Parker and Pedro Pascal lead Hollywood tributes to 'legend' Dolly Parton following her death at 80: 'One of the greatest this country ever produced'

Celebrity tributes have poured in for country music icon Dolly Parton following her death age 80.

The legendary country singer's passing was confirmed Tuesday in an Instagram video posted by her nephew Bryan Seaver, prompting an outpouring of love from America's A-list. 

Jamie Lee Curtis, Sarah Jessica Parker, Pedro Pascal and country crooner Maren Morris were among the first big names to post. 

Curtis shared a photo to Instagram that showed herself cuddled up with Parton. She captioned: 'They say don't meet your heroes. Her bravery to know that she was more than they thought she was and that she needed to break away and move on into new work and new possibilities led her to write I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU, as her way of thanking and loving, but moving on. She is a great example for us all.'

Parker, meanwhile, revealed she had never met Parton but had always admired her from afar.  

The Sex and the City actress took to social media writing: 'I never met @dollyparton but my gosh, did I love her. I don’t think any of us had to know her to love her. One of the greatest this country ever produced. Legend. For real. Forever.'

 Pascal similarly took to Instagram sharing an old black and white photo of the Jolene singer, writing: 'One of one. We must make more.'

Meanwhile, Maren Morris - who has been inspired by Parton's long career in country music - also took to social media sharing a video of her with the star. 

'There will never be another. @dollyparton was who we could all agree on and she was such a light,' the My Church singer stated.  

Parton's passing came after months of health woes that saw her pull out of a string of public appearances, fueling fan fears for her wellbeing.
