Hayden Panettiere’s ex-partner Wladimir Klitschko has shared a heartfelt tribute to the late actress, who was found dead in her Greenville, South Carolina home on Sunday.

According to reports, police responded to a call at Panettiere’s home and found her in cardiac arrest. The coroner’s office has confirmed that there were no signs of foul play or suspicious circumstances, but the cause of death remains unknown.

Klitschko, the former world heavyweight boxing champion, met Panettiere at a party in Los Angeles in 2009. The two started dating, and Panettiere became pregnant with their daughter, Kaya, in 2014. Although the couple never married, they remained close, and Klitschko has been a constant presence in Kaya’s life.

In a statement posted on social media, Klitschko expressed his shock and grief at Panettiere’s passing. He described her as ‘talented’ and ‘important’ to his life, adding that she had ‘left this world far too soon.’ Klitschko also spoke about the challenges Panettiere faced in her career, saying that she had ‘built an incredible career through immense talent, while also facing the darker sides of a very demanding industry.’

Connie Britton, who starred alongside Panettiere in the TV show Nashville, posted a heartfelt message, saying that Panettiere was ‘bursting with brilliance’ and ‘shining so bright.’ Masi Oka, who appeared with Panettiere in the supernatural drama series Heroes, described her as ‘beautiful’ and ‘talented,’ saying that she had ‘left this world too soon.’

Panettiere’s breakout role came in 2006 when she was cast as Claire Bennet in the NBC series Heroes. She went on to star in the TV show Nashville, earning critical acclaim for her performance.
Throughout her career, Panettiere has been open about her struggles with substance abuse. In her autobiography, which was published earlier this year, she wrote about her experiences with addiction and her struggles to maintain sobriety.
