The actress known for her roles in Heroes and Nashville passed away on Sunday, August 16, at the age of 36, as confirmed by her representative to PEOPLE. Hayden Panettiere was consistently open regarding the intricate path that influenced her bond with her sole child, daughter Kaya Evdokia Klitschko.
In 2020, Hayden commenced her treatment, spending eight months in a rehabilitation facility. Her memoir illustrates the withdrawal experience as at times harrowing, featuring one notably alarming episode in which she faced auditory hallucinations that were so severe she crawled to the bathroom floor to ride out the panic.
