As a fervent admirer of Hayden Panettiere, I am deeply moved by her heart-wrenching journey through grief and resilience. Her raw vulnerability in sharing the tragic loss of her brother, Jansen, at such a young age, underscores the fragility of life and the power of love that binds us together.


For the first time, actress Hayden Panettiere has spoken publicly about the passing of her brother Jansen in February 2023, who was just 28 years old and had an unknown heart condition as the cause of death.

35-year-old actress and vocalist expressed to People on Wednesday, ‘He was my sole sibling, and I felt responsible for his safety. His passing made me feel as though I’d misplaced a significant part of myself, almost like losing a piece of my soul.’

Upon Jansen’s unfortunate demise, Lesley Vogul and Skip Panettiere stated that his death was caused by an enlarged heart, specifically, issues related to the aortic valve.

The entertainer born in New York revealed that she faced agoraphobia following a well-known family crisis.

According to the actress from “The Heroes,” she experienced significant weight gain due to an increase in stress and cortisol levels, which she described as a rapid expansion, when speaking to the media outlet, while managing a distressing incident.

Panettiere expressed that she lacked self-assurance to dress up and venture outside, yet she recognized the necessity of leaving the house and staying active to avoid perpetuating these feelings.

She added, ‘It became a destructive hamster wheel of, do I feel good enough to go out?’

The Nashville star said she has gained a measure of wisdom in the wake of the tragic events.

In a situation as monumental as what you’ve experienced, you become more selective about arguments and tend to let minor issues roll off your back. After all, when something as profound, as life-altering, or devastating happens to you, it makes other things seem insignificant by comparison.

She stated, “The pain will forever linger, and I can’t imagine ever recovering from it. Regardless of the passing time, I won’t find solace in his absence.

Panettiere appears in the upcoming movie Amber Alert, which is due in theaters September 27.
