Dolly Parton‘s sister sought to reassure fans on Tuesday after asking them to pray for the living legend earlier in the day.

Late Tuesday, Freida Parton took to Facebook to clarify that Parton was simply “a little under the weather” and not seriously ill, as some on social media had speculated.

“I want to clear something up. I didn’t mean to scare anyone or make it sound so serious when asking for prayers for Dolly,” Freida wrote in her post. “She’s been a little under the weather, and I simply asked for prayers because I believe so strongly in the power of prayer.”

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

Freida finished by thanking fans for supporting Dolly, writing, “Your love truly makes a difference.”
