Hayden Panettiere, star of popular television series including Heroes and Nashville, has died. She was 36.<\/p>\n

Panettiere\u2019s father, Skip, announced the actor\u2019s death in a statement provided to ABC News Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is with profound sadness that we share the tragic passing of our beloved Hayden. She was an incredible light and a force of nature who brought immeasurable love and joy to all who knew her \u2013 and to the millions who watched her onscreen,\u201d his statement said.<\/p>\n

No cause of death was announced, and a publicist for Hayden Panettiere did not immediately respond to an e-mail from the Associated Press.<\/p>\n

Panettiere had a prolific career dating to 1996, and her credits included the voice of Dot in A Bug\u2019s Life, Remember the Titans and Scream VI. Her role as a cheerleader with superpowers in Heroes propelled her to fame, with the series revolving around the mantra \u201cSave the cheerleader, save the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

She had been open about her struggles with alcohol addiction and depression, including after the birth of her daughter in 2014. In a memoir published this year, titled This Is Me: A Reckoning, she wrote about her decision to give full custody of her daughter to her former partner, boxer Wladimir Klitschko.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Open this photo in gallery: Hayden Panettiere at a movie premiere in 2022.
