A nine-year-old actor has described how Dolly Parton saved her life while on the set of the Netflix holiday movie Dolly Parton's Christmas on the Square

Talia Hill revealed that the country music legend - who ironically plays an angel in the film - pulled her out of the way of moving vehicle just in time. 

"We were on set, and I was at the hot chocolate station, and they said go back to your beginning positions," Hill told Inside Edition

"So there was a vehicle moving, and I was walking, and then somebody grabbed me and pulled me back, and I looked up and it was Dolly Parton." 

Hill, who was cast as an actor and dancer in the festive musical flick along with her two older siblings, said she was left "in shock" after the near-miss. 

Parton reportedly told Hill: "Well, I am an angel, you know", referring to her role in the movie. 

Hill said the Jolene hitmaker "hugged and shook" her, telling her: 'I saved your life!' 

"My mom was crying, like, 'Yes you did, Dolly Parton, yes you did."
