Dolly Parton's nephew has reportedly been fired from his role as head of security for her properties.

Bryan Seaver, the family member who announced her death at the age of 80 last month, is said to have been dismissed along with her security companies from every property owned by her estate.

As reported by TMZ, a termination notice was sent to Bryan last week, with replacement security installed at her home in Nashville, plus her museum, downtown home and warehouse.

Bryan and his team told the outlet they are "dismayed by the unexpected and, so far, unexplained actions" following Dolly's death.

They added: "We remain unshakably resolved to fulfill her final directive to protect her family, and we refuse to be intimidated by those whose actions we believe are being taken in bad faith and with the intent to profit from the life of someone who willingly gave so much."

The issue is said to be with Dolly's longtime manager Danny Nozell and Pinnacle Bank.

The termination letter seen by the outlet lists the late country icon's properties and professional business interests as being held by the DP Dean Trust.

Although Bryan has been relieved of his security duties, the move doesn't change his personal interest in the trust.
