Get the nearest <div> parent containing an child with class "sample"? jQuery if possible

[pstein]

Assume I have the following simplified code:

<div>  "1"
<div>   "2"
<p>
<div>   "3"
<span>
<img class="sample">...</img>
</span>
</div>
</p>
</div>
</div>

Now I want to refer to innermost parent <div> element which contains a child element with class "sample".
Here it is an <img> element in other cases it could be a <figure> or whatever.
As target <div> element I would like to get the <div> labelled here with "3".

How can I achieve this?

If possible as jQuery statement.

Thank you

Something like  $("img.sample").parent().parent() should work.

[dsonesuk]

$("img.sample").closest('div') or maybe

$("img.sample").parents('div').eq(0) or

$("img.sample").parentsUntil("div")

removing element type 'img' will target any element using class .sample
