Dolly Parton<\/a>‘s Hollywood Walk of Fame star has been restored after it was vandalized … TMZ has learned.<\/p>\n

TMZ obtained photos showing Dolly’s star looking good as new Friday, with her name fully intact. A turquoise butterfly has also been placed over the center medallion, while flowers and other tributes surround the star.<\/p>\n

The butterfly is a fitting tribute … Dolly has long used the insect as a personal and career symbol because of her connection to nature. She’s said she felt connected to butterflies ever since chasing them as a child in Tennessee’s Smoky Mountains.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As we reported … someone scratched<\/a> Dolly’s name off the star Monday, shortly after her death<\/a> at age 80 following a brief battle<\/a> with cancer.<\/p>\n

Ana Martinez, a spokesperson for the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, previously told TMZ the star needed to cure for three days before crews could return to polish it Friday morning.<\/p>\n

Martinez also said Dolly’s family was not responsible<\/a> for the repairs. The Hollywood Historic Trust, a nonprofit organization, maintains and repairs the stars along the Walk of Fame.<\/p>\n

We were told repair costs vary depending on the damage, and the Trust uses the same construction company that creates the stars to handle repairs.<\/p>\n

The star already had cracks before the vandalism and had been scheduled for repairs Tuesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dolly Parton‘s Hollywood Walk of Fame star has been restored after it was vandalized … TMZ has learned.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":883891,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[49,48,361,75],"class_list":["post-883890","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/883890","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=883890"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/883890\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/883891"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=883890"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=883890"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=883890"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
