Dolly Parton ’s sister, Freida Parton, is setting the record straight after sparking concern among fans with a post about the country icon’s health.

On Tuesday night (Oct. 7), Freida returned to social media to clarify her earlier message, which asked fans to join her in praying for Dolly — and left many fearing the worst.

“I didn’t mean to scare anyone or make it sound so serious,” she wrote . “Dolly’s been a little under the weather, and I simply asked for prayers because I believe so strongly in the power of prayer.”

“It was nothing more than a little sister asking for prayers for her big sister,” she added.

Freida also thanked fans for their outpouring of support, saying, “ Your love truly makes a difference .”
