Hayden Panettiere<\/a> is opening up about one of the darkest days of her life — the devastating moment she learned her younger brother, Jansen, had died.<\/p>\n

In “This Is Me: A Reckoning,” Hayden says she was preparing for the “Scream VI” premiere in 2023 when she intentionally ignored a call from her dad … only to answer when he rang her again, and delivered the tragic news.<\/p>\n

According to Hayden, her father was hysterical and struggling to breathe as he explained Jansen had missed a 9 AM appointment, prompting a friend to check on him — only to find him dead in a chair with a comforter over him, like he\u2019d simply fallen asleep.<\/p>\n

Hayden says her brain instantly went into autopilot during the call, and she calmly called her now-estranged mother Lesley Vogel<\/a> — who was enjoying the sunshine at Venice Beach at the time — before the reality of everything finally hit her.<\/p>\n

The actress says she completely broke down afterward, crawling into bed and refused to get out for the rest of the day.<\/p>\n

As TMZ previously reported, Jansen was found dead<\/a> inside his Nyack apartment in February 2023 at just 28 years old.
