Musicians actors and performers have flocked to pay tribute to the late Dolly Parton following her death at the age of 80.

Khloé Kardashian, who once teamed up with her "hero" to launch a limited-time denim collection called Joleans, gushed, "Some people are extraordinary; their existence feels almost impossible. Dolly was one of those people. A once-in-a-lifetime soul. A woman whose light, heart, talent and humanity changed this world forever. What a legacy. What a loss. There will never be another Dolly."

Australian country music star Keith Urban told fans of his childhood idol, "Heartbroken today. Honestly... I have no words right now."
