In a deeply compassionate act, Dolly Parton has covered the funeral costs for all 104 victims of the devastating Texas flash floods—including 28 children. The tragedy, which struck over the Fourth of July weekend, saw torrential rains flood the Texas Hill Country, wiping out homes, displacing thousands, and claiming lives, including at least 27 at Camp Mystic.
Parton’s gesture, described by many as the “purest act of love in modern celebrity history,” brought comfort to grieving families facing unimaginable loss. In addition to paying for funerals, the country icon also pledged further financial support to help survivors rebuild.
At 79, Dolly Parton continues to be a beacon of hope—offering not just help, but healing, when the world needs it most.
