.msg-error {
    background:#ff0000;
    color:#fff;
    padding:10px;
    margin-bottom:10px;
}

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="mainalert">

<div class="msg-error">
    <div class"container">
    First error message <a class="btn-close">Close</a>
    </div>
</div>

<div class="msg-error">
    <div class"container">
    Second error message <a class="btn-close">Close</a>
    </div>

You can use .closest() to specify the closest parent you want to achieve by using a selector.

$(".msg-error .btn-close").click(function() {
  $(this).closest('.msg-error').hide();
});

With this function you can even change your HTML structure without having to edit your JavaScript code to deal with multiple level of .parent() calls, provided that you continue using the same CSS class for the selector.

$(".msg-error .btn-close").click(function(){$(this).parent().parent().hide();});

Or, little fancier:

$(".msg-error .btn-close").click(function(){$(this).closest('.msg-error').hide();});

You can chain .parent() calls together. Try:

$(".msg-error .btn-close").click(function(){$(this).parent().parent().hide();});

you can try this way, by searching for that main parent div

you can use closest() or parents(), first option will return first match and seconds will return all matches, your choice

$(".msg-error .btn-close").click(function() {
    $(this).parents(".msg-error").hide();
});

or going the parent twice

$(".msg-error .btn-close").click(function() {
    $(this).parent().parent().hide();
});

Remove parent div without jquery

<div class="msg-error">
    <div class"container">
    Second error message <a class="btn-close" onclick='Close()'>Close</a>
    </div>
</div>
<script>
function Close(){
document.getElementsByClassName('msg-error').innerHtml='';
}
<script>
